Medical cannabis certification for Port Huron
A private video evaluation with a Michigan-licensed physician. About fifteen minutes, from wherever you are in St. Clair County — no drive, no waiting room.
Book your evaluationWhy patients in Port Huron use telehealth for this
Port Huron sits at the foot of the Blue Water Bridge, and a great many people here cross into Sarnia as a matter of routine — for work, for family, for an afternoon. That makes one question far more consequential in this city than in most of Michigan. Cannabis is still a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and an international crossing is federal ground. A state registry card is a Michigan document. It does not travel, and at the border it does not help you.
Take this one seriously and get proper advice. Carrying cannabis across the border in either direction is prohibited, whatever is legal on the Michigan side or the Ontario side. What you say to an officer at a crossing is a separate matter again, and for people who are not US citizens the stakes can be higher still. We cannot tell you how any particular crossing will go, and you should be wary of anyone who claims they can. If you cross regularly, speak to a lawyer who works on border and immigration matters before you register.

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 Port Huron patients
I cross the bridge every week. Should I be registering at all?
That is a legal question rather than a clinical one, and it deserves a lawyer who handles border and immigration matters. A physician can assess whether you meet Michigan's criteria; they cannot advise you on federal immigration or customs consequences. For frequent crossers, getting that advice first is the sensible order.
Would a registry card show up when I cross?
We won't speculate. Michigan holds registry information under its own confidentiality provisions, but federal officers operate under federal law and we are not going to guess at what any agency can see. Treat it as a question for a lawyer, not for a clinic.
I drive a truck over the bridge for a living. Does the card change my testing situation?
No. Department of Transportation testing rules are federal and are not affected by a state registry card. That applies whether or not you ever cross. Speak to your employer or an employment lawyer about your specific position before you make a decision.
What does the visit itself involve?
A licensed Michigan physician reviews your history and current symptoms against the state's criteria over secure video. It's a conversation, not a physical exam, and it usually takes about fifteen minutes. The state — not this clinic — issues any card that follows.

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.
