FAQ

The Details

• First, in order for you to get your card the same day, you must submit the application online (we will provide you with the instructions).
• Second, there is a daily time cutoff for this service.  Applications submitted online before 6:00 PM will be confirmed by us the same day. Otherwise, we will confirm your application the following morning.
• Third, even those who have a caregiver can take advantage of our Same Day Card Offer. You merely have to complete and mail an “Add or Change Caregiver Amendment” form once you receive the “Approval” email from the state.

Beware of “Full Service” offers by other clinics
Some patients have asked if we can submit the application online for them. The State of Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) is clear: Patients should not allow other individuals or third parties to submit their applications or any other documents to the MMMP as patients will be unable to determine when or if their applications were submitted.
