Michigan Medical Marihuana Program The Michigan Medical Marihuana Program (MMMP) is a state registry program within the Bureau of Health Professions at the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The program will administer the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act as approved by Michigan voters on November 4, 2008. The program will implement the statutory tenets of this act in such a manner that protects the public and assures the confidentiality of its participants.
Original and renewal application forms are available. Click the Application Forms and Instructions link below. All forms should be mailed to the address indicated on the form. Date-stamp copies are not available at the Medical Marihuana Registry Program.
DO NOT SEND DUPLICATE APPLICATIONS. THIS SLOWS DOWN THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND CREATES PROBLEMS FOR STAFF.
Program Status Update (1/31/2012):
The Medical Marihuana Program has obtained a new card issuance system. If you submitted your original or renewal application prior to the end of February 2012 and do not receive your registry ID card by the second week of May, please call 517-373-0395 and select option #3.
To assist our staff in expediting and processing a renewal application make sure you submit your application on a Renewal Application with your registry identification number on the form.
Program Statistics:
- 222,413 original and renewal applications received since April 6, 2009.
- 131,483 patient registrations issued.
- 22,550 applications denied -- most due to incomplete application or missing documentation.
- Applications are reviewed within 15 days of receipt. Incomplete applications are denied and applicants are then notified of denial by certified and regular mail.
- Complete applications, change forms and reapplications for previous denials are then processed in the date order in which they are received. If a denial letter is not received then the application is deemed valid. The statute currently allows for a copy of the application submitted to serve as a valid registry identification if the card is not issued within 20 days of its submission to the department. At this time, we are unable to issue valid registry identification cards within the statutory time frame with the resources available to us. We continue to review and revise our processing methods in order to more efficiently process and issue the valid registry cards.
