Medical cannabis certification for Dearborn
A private video evaluation with a Michigan-licensed physician. About fifteen minutes, from wherever you are in Wayne County — no drive, no waiting room.

Privacy carries different weight in different communities. In Dearborn, where family and community networks are close and a waiting room is rarely anonymous, the thing people most often ask about a certification visit is not how fast it is — it's who finds out. A video visit from your own home is a meaningfully different proposition from walking into a storefront clinic on Michigan Avenue.
It's worth being direct about what confidentiality does and doesn't cover, because vague reassurance is worse than none. Your medical record is protected health information and is not disclosed without your authorisation or a legal requirement. Michigan's registry is maintained by the state under its own confidentiality provisions. What we cannot control is what happens at the other end of your own connection — so take the visit somewhere you can speak freely, and use headphones if that helps.

Who actually issues the card
We don't. The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) does. Michigan's medical marijuana program is administered by the Cannabis Regulatory Agency, which took over the functions previously handled under LARA. The state — not this clinic — issues the registry card and sets its own processing times. If the physician certifies you, we file the certification on your behalf — but we can't promise a date, and nobody who tells you otherwise can either.
Questions from Dearborn patients
Who can see that I've had this visit?
Your record is protected health information and isn't disclosed without your written authorisation or a legal requirement. Registry information is held by the state under its own confidentiality rules. Our Notice of Privacy Practices sets out exactly who may see what and why.
Do I have to go to a clinic in person at any point?
Not for the evaluation itself. If the physician decides you need an in-person assessment, they'll tell you and explain why — but that's a clinical judgement, not a routine step.
Can I take the visit somewhere other than home?
Yes, as long as you can speak privately and hear clearly. A parked car works. What matters is that you're somewhere you can discuss your health honestly.
Will anything arrive in the post?
Documentation from us is sent electronically. Anything the state sends is handled by the state under its own process.

Every visit happens over video, so these pages differ only in the local rules and circumstances that apply where you live. We serve patients across all 36 — see the full list on the Michigan page.
This page is general health information, not medical advice, and reading it does not create a physician–patient relationship. Certification under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MCL 333.26421 et seq.) requires a qualifying condition, determined by a licensed physician exercising independent clinical judgement. No one can promise you will qualify, and your fee pays for the physician's time and judgement rather than for any particular outcome. Michigan's program rules change; confirm current requirements with the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and a state registry card does not change federal law, override an employer's policy, or affect federally regulated testing requirements. In a medical emergency call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
