Medical cannabis certification for Flint
A private video evaluation with a Michigan-licensed physician. About fifteen minutes, from wherever you are in Genesee County — no drive, no waiting room.
Book your evaluationWhy patients in Flint use telehealth for this
Flint has spent a decade with a well-earned scepticism toward institutions that ask residents to take things on trust. That is the right instinct to bring to a telehealth clinic. So: this is a paid physician evaluation with a defined scope. The physician reviews your history against Michigan's criteria and reaches a conclusion. They may conclude you don't qualify. The fee covers their time either way, and no one here can promise you a card.
The practical case for a video visit in Genesee County is straightforward. Primary care capacity in and around Flint has been under pressure for years, and wait times for a non-urgent appointment can run long. A certification evaluation doesn't require a physical exam or lab work, which means it's one of the few medical conversations that genuinely loses nothing by happening over video — and it doesn't take a slot from someone who needs to be seen in person.

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 Flint patients
What exactly am I paying for?
A licensed Michigan physician's time and their independent clinical judgement. Not a card, and not an outcome. If they determine you don't meet the state's criteria, they'll tell you why and discuss what else might fit. The fee isn't contingent on the answer.
Do I need a referral from my regular doctor?
No referral is required. It's helpful to bring what you know about your own history and any current medications, but you don't need paperwork from another provider to book.
What if I don't have a primary care doctor?
That's common and it doesn't prevent an evaluation. The physician will take your history directly. If they think you need ongoing care beyond the scope of this visit, they'll say so.
Is there any cost if I'm not certified?
The evaluation fee applies to the visit itself, because you're paying for the physician's time and judgement rather than for a particular result. The full fee is shown before you book, with no additional charges at checkout.

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.
