Patient Rights Under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act
Your Rights as a Qualified Patient
When a person qualifies under the current Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA), they have certain rights as a patient.
1. They can possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana.
2. They can grow up to 12 marijuana plants so long as they keep them in a secure, locked facility.
3. If a person is growing the plants outdoors, they cannot be visible from outside of their property and should be within an enclosed locked structure.
4. They can have THC in their blood if accussed of driving under the influence. A recreational user is subject to Michigan’s zero tolerance level which means if you consumed marijuana 4 days ago it is still in your system even if it is not affecting your behavior or judgement.
Note: Cannabis can stay in your system for 30 days or longer after one use. A law firm such as Komorn Law should be able to get you through this.
As a patient or caregiver, they also need to register with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency
