Future of Medical Marijuana

Currently, the State must approve the use of medical marijuana for certain health conditions. As you can see from the above lists, some health conditions are approved while others are not. This leaves those with the need for medical marijuana unable to use their medicine if the state does not deem medical marijuana suitable for their condition.

There are just under 300,000 medical marijuana

Michiganders will go to the polls in November to vote on the legal status of marijuana. Whether medical marijuana is approved for a condition will no longer matter if voters to decide to make the use and possession of marijuana legal.
