How do I get medical marijuana in Michigan?

See your physician to obtain written recommendation and follow our links to the state registry.  If you know a good grower or caregiver, you can designate this person on your application.  You can always change your designation, but if you are new to growing, you will likely find it more convenient (and less frustrating) to learn from someone else in the beginning.  The equipment is expensive and the conditions must be monitored closely to get good results.

Where do I find marijuana in Michigan?

Grow for Yourself.  The state permits patients or caregivers to grow 12 plants, without regard to maturity. The marihuana must be grown in an enclosed, locked facility, as to prevent access of non-patients (ex. Closet, locked basement, etc.)   If you initially registered with a caregiver, we strongly recommend you inform the state of the change in writing, and hold onto a copy for your records.  

Designate a Caregiver.  A registered caregiver may legally grow and distribute to patients, and can collect compensation based on the costs incurred.
