Michigan Medical Cannabis Certification
Green Bridge Society makes certification simple, affordable, and stress-free. Our MI-licensed doctors certify you by phone, and our team helps you register with the state.

🏛️ Michigan CRA charges a $40 state fee for a 2-year card
Two-part process: Doctor certification (us) + State registration (MI CRA). We help with both.

Stop Paying the Extra Cannabis Tax
Michigan recreational purchases include a 10% excise tax plus a new 24% wholesale tax that gets passed to consumers. Medical patients skip all of that — you only pay standard 6% sales tax.
The 24% wholesale tax took effect January 1, 2026 and is being challenged in court, so it could change. The 10% excise exemption for medical patients is unaffected.
Recreational buyer
10% excise + 24% wholesale tax
On $300/month in purchases, you're paying hundreds extra per year in cannabis-specific taxes.
Medical patient
0% excise tax · 6% sales tax only
Your card pays for itself after just a couple trips. Plus higher possession limits and 12 plants per patient.
💡 Your $129 certification + $40 state fee = $169 total for two full years of tax savings. That's about $84/year — less than one dispensary trip in tax savings alone.
How It Works
Three steps to your Michigan medical card. We help with all of them.
Step 1
Book Your Appointment
Schedule below and complete the short intake. Pick a morning, afternoon, or evening call window that works for you.
Step 2
Complete Your State Application
Log in to the Michigan CRA portal, complete the Patient Only Registration application, pay the $40 state fee, and enter your Green Bridge doctor's number. That sends your application straight to your doctor's state queue. Step-by-step guide ↗
Step 3
Your Doctor Completes It
Your Michigan-licensed Green Bridge doctor sees your application in their state portal, contacts you to finish the review, and issues your certification — often the same day, once your portal steps are done. The state then issues your 2-year registry card.
📞 You pick a call window (morning, afternoon, or evening) — not an exact time. Your doctor may call anytime within that window. Keep your phone nearby. Calls can appear as "Unknown" or "Spam Risk."

Common Questions
How long is the call?
5–10 minutes. Our doctors won't rush you.
What if I miss the call?
Your doctor will try again and may text. Calls sometimes show as "Unknown" or "Spam Risk."
How soon can I visit a dispensary?
After you register on the MI CRA portal and pay the $40 state fee, your doctor certifies you and the state reviews your application. The CRA typically processes online applications in about 15 business days, then mails your physical registry card. Michigan asks patients to wait for the official registry card before purchasing, so plan to shop once it arrives. We'll help you check your application status in the meantime.
How long is my Michigan card valid?
Two full years from the date of issue — one of the longest in the country. The expiration date is printed on your card.
Why not just buy recreational?
Recreational purchases include a 10% excise tax plus, since January 2026, a 24% wholesale tax that gets passed to you (it's being challenged in court, so it could change). Medical patients skip both. You also get higher possession limits and can grow 12 plants per patient (not per household).
Do you help with the state portal?
Yes. We assist with the MI CRA registration, uploads, state fee payment, and any troubleshooting.
