How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card in Michigan
The process is easier than most people expect. No paperwork stacks, no specialist referrals, no lengthy waits. Here's exactly what happens, start to finish.
Confirm You Qualify
Michigan's medical marijuana program requires that you have a qualifying condition. The list covers a wide range of physical and mental health concerns, including chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, arthritis, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and many others.
You can see the full list on our qualifying conditions page.
The most important thing: you do not need to bring medical records. Our doctors evaluate you directly based on your symptoms and medical history as you describe it. You must be 18 or older to apply.
Book Your Appointment Online
Scheduling takes less than two minutes. Choose a same-day or upcoming appointment that fits your schedule. We're available seven days a week, including evenings.
Choose between our two service options at the time of booking:
Certification + we file your LARA application + state fee included.
Certification only. You file LARA yourself and pay the $40 state fee.
Your Phone Appointment with a Michigan Doctor
At the scheduled time, a licensed Michigan physician will call you by phone. The appointment typically takes about 30 minutes.
During the call, the doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you've experienced them, and how they affect your daily life. There's no exam, no video requirement, and no records to bring. Just answer honestly.
If the doctor determines you qualify, they issue your written certification immediately. If you don't qualify for any reason, you receive a full refund — guaranteed.
Filing With the State of Michigan (LARA)
Once you have your physician's certification, the next step is registering with Michigan's Licensing and Regulatory Affairs office (LARA) to receive your official state medical marijuana card.
Our team submits your LARA application on your behalf. No state portal, no paperwork, no fees to track separately.
You'll create an account on the state's online portal, upload your physician certification, pay the $40 state fee, and submit your application.
Timeline: Your physician certification is issued the same day. A temporary digital card is emailed in 1–3 days. Physical card arrives by mail in 2–3 weeks.
