Michigan Medical Marihuana Act
In 2008, the Michigan legislature adopted the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA). The act allows certain people with qualified medical illnesses or disabilities (and his or her primary caregiver) to acquire, possess, cultivate, manufacture, use, and transport marijuana as well as marijuana paraphernalia for the purposes of alleviating symptoms related to a person’s medical condition.
The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act delineates very specific limitations on the amount of useable marijuana and plants a registered client and their registered primary caregiver are allowed to possess.
A variety of medical conditions qualify under the statute. Despite the fact that this marijuana statute was enacted in 2008, fewer than 16,000 registrants have received cards authorizing use of marijuana for medical purposes. The majority of applications that have been denied by the State of Michigan are for incomplete applications and/or missing documentation.
If you or a loved one has a debilitating medical condition, you may qualify for a registration card. It is important to contact an attorney with a thorough understanding of this marijuana legislation and the application process. Kronzek & Cronkright, PLLC has proven results!
