Michigan Medical Marijuana Qualifying Conditions
To receive a Michigan medical marijuana card, you need at least one qualifying condition. The list is broader than most people expect — and no medical records are required to apply.
📋 No medical records required — our licensed Michigan doctors evaluate you directly during your phone appointment.
Chronic Pain
Persistent pain lasting three months or more that significantly affects daily functioning. Includes back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and similar long-term conditions.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD from military service, accidents, assault, abuse, or other traumatic events. A formal psychiatric diagnosis on paper is not required — the physician evaluates your symptoms directly.
Anxiety
Severe or debilitating anxiety qualifies under the physician's determination clause. If anxiety significantly impairs your ability to work, sleep, or function in daily life, it may qualify.
Arthritis
Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis qualify when they cause significant pain, inflammation, or limit mobility.
Cancer
Any cancer diagnosis qualifies, as do the side effects of cancer treatment — including nausea, vomiting, and pain associated with chemotherapy and radiation.
Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease and other inflammatory bowel conditions that cause significant pain, nausea, or inability to maintain healthy nutrition.
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders
Michigan explicitly recognizes epilepsy as a qualifying condition. This includes patients who experience seizures that are poorly controlled by conventional medications.
Glaucoma
Patients with glaucoma that causes elevated intraocular pressure, vision loss, or is otherwise debilitating.
HIV and AIDS
Both HIV and AIDS qualify, including associated symptoms such as chronic pain, wasting syndrome, and nausea.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS and its associated symptoms — including muscle spasticity, pain, and fatigue.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease, including the tremors, rigidity, and pain that accompany the condition.
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord damage that causes chronic pain, spasticity, or loss of function.
Nausea
Severe or chronic nausea — whether from a recognized condition, medication side effects, or other causes — particularly when it limits the ability to eat or maintain normal function.
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C, including the pain, fatigue, and nausea associated with both the disease and its treatment.
Nail Patella Syndrome
A genetic disorder affecting bones, joints, and kidneys, specifically named in Michigan's qualifying conditions.
"Any Debilitating Condition" — The Most Important Clause
Michigan law includes a broad provision: a physician can certify a patient for any condition that the physician determines is debilitating in nature.
This means if you have a condition that significantly affects your quality of life — even if it's not named above — a licensed physician can still qualify you based on their professional judgment. If you're unsure whether your condition qualifies, book an appointment and let the doctor evaluate you directly. If you don't qualify, you receive a full refund.
What Happens If You Don't Qualify?
If a Green Cross Partners physician determines that your condition does not meet the standard for certification, you receive a full refund. We want the process to be fair and risk-free for every patient.
