Yes, medical marijuana patients in Michigan can have a caregiver. Patients must complete a paper application if designating a caregiver.
Caregiver Requirements:
- Must be at least 21 years of age.
- Never convicted of a violent or drug-related felony.
- Primary caregivers must not have committed a felony within the last 10 years.
- Patients may designate one caregiver. Caregivers can have up to five (5) patients.
Here's how the caregiver process works:
-
Your patient must designate you as their caregiver on a mail-in paper application. No mistakes or whiteout on paper applications!
- If your patient is already active and registered, they can add you using this form.
- A copy of the front of your valid state-issued driver's license or personal identification card must be included with the patient's application.
- There is no additional fee to become a caregiver.
