Michigan accepting marijuana applications

Michigan accepting marijuana applications

  • DETROIT -- The state of Michigan has started accepting appli- cation for medical marijuana from residents with debilitating illnesses, officials said Monday. Michigan is the 13th state to legalize the use of medical marijuana, the Detroit News reported. The Michigan Department of Community Health said it can take up to 15 days to review an application, which must include a form from a Michigan-licensed doctor certi- fying that a patient suffers from a qualifying medical condi- tion. It can take another five days to issue a picture ID card. Qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and Crohn's disease, the newspaper said. An automated system erroneously put a stock symbol for Community Health Systems, which is in no way associated with medical marijuana, in an earlier version of this article.
