Can licensed Michigan provisioning centers accept visiting qualifying marijuana patient cards?

Per the Marihuana Sale or Transfer Rule Set a provisioning center may sell or transfer marijuana product to a visiting qualifying patient if all the following are met:

  • The licensee verifies that the visiting qualifying patient has a valid unexpired medical marihuana registry card – or its equivalent – issued in another state, district, territory, commonwealth, or insular possession of the United States that allows the medical use of marihuana.
  • The licensee confirms that the visiting qualifying patient presented his or her valid driver license or government-issued identification card that bears a photographic image of the visiting qualifying patient.
  • The licensee determines, if completed, that any transfer or sale will not exceed the purchasing limit prescribed in the Marihuana Sale or Transfer Rule Set.
  • Any marihuana product that is sold or transferred under this rule has been tested and is labelled and packaged for sale or transfer in accordance with the Marihuana Sale or Transfer Rule Set.
  • As used in this sub rule, “visiting qualifying patient” means that term as defined in Section 3 of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, 2008 IL 1, MCL 333.26423.
