In 2008, 63% of Michigan voters succeeded in passing Proposal 1 also known as the Michigan Compassionate Care Initiative. As the first Midwestern state to legalize medical marijuana for qualifying patients, Michigan created a patient registry program and placed strict restrictions on public use and driving while under the influence of cannabis.

Your medical marijuana card allows you to possess up to 2.5 ounces. Designated caregivers can also help you purchase up to 2.5 ounces of medical cannabis.

Debit / Credit Cards At Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

It’s wise to take cash with you when you visit a medical marijuana dispensary. Many don’t accept credit cards although they may have an ATM. Play it safe and come prepared with cash.
