Higher medical limits than adult-use, including larger-potency edibles; home cultivation of up to 12 plants
Legal forms
Flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates, tinctures and topicals from licensed provisioning centers
Residency
Michigan resident with a MI driver's license, state ID, or voter registration plus proof of identity

Complete the MMMP application on the LARA/CRA online portal and pay the $40 fee.
