Michigan residents voted in 2008 to legalize medical marijuana. Now more than 115,000 people are legally permitted to smoke pot. An additional 27,000 residents are certified to grow marijuana as a caregiver for a patient.

Our goal is to provide patients and growers with up-to-date information on medical marijuana.
