Medical cannabis certification for Monroe
A private video evaluation with a Michigan-licensed physician. About fifteen minutes, from wherever you are in Monroe County — no drive, no waiting room.
Book your evaluationWhy patients in Monroe use telehealth for this
Monroe County lives across a state line as a matter of routine. The Ohio border is a short drive south, Toledo is an ordinary commute, and plenty of households here have one job in Michigan and one in Ohio. A Michigan registry card stops at that line. It is a Michigan document under Michigan law, and if you work in Ohio your employment sits under Ohio's rules rather than Michigan's. Neither state's program answers for the other. Assume nothing carries across.
Monroe County also has a lot of work where the testing rules come from a federal regulator rather than a supervisor — a nuclear plant on the lake shore, freight moving on I-75, and the contractors who service both. Federal fitness-for-duty and Department of Transportation requirements are unaffected by a state registry card, because cannabis remains Schedule I federally. The physician will raise this if it applies to you. Whether it costs you your job is not a question a physician can answer — that one goes to your union representative or an employment lawyer.

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 Monroe patients
I live in Monroe and work in Toledo. Does a Michigan card do anything for me at work?
No. Your employment sits under the law of the state where you work and under your employer's own policy, and a Michigan registry card doesn't reach either. If your job is a real consideration, get employment advice specific to where you work before you register.
I work in a federally regulated role. Will the card protect me?
No. Federal fitness-for-duty and DOT testing rules are not affected by any state program, because cannabis is still Schedule I under federal law. Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong. Talk to your union rep or an employment lawyer about your specific position.
Can I take anything I buy in Michigan across the line into Ohio?
No. Transporting cannabis across a state line is a federal matter and is not permitted, whatever either state allows within its own borders. That applies to a short trip south as much as to anything else.
How long does the visit take, and what should I have with me?
About fifteen minutes. Have proof of Michigan residency in the form the state currently requires, a complete list of your medications and supplements, and a clear account of your relevant history. No referral is needed to book.

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.
