Recommendation Or Card?

[mrbaer]

Hi I am new to MMMA and I have my doctors recommendation but my card has not arrived can I obtain my medicine with only the recommendation? I have seen conflicting answers

You can acquire, but if you somehow get in a pickle, you might need an attorney. Only a card protects you from arrest. If you can quietly acquire (from a source other than a cop) you should be ok.

[t-pain]

all depends on who you want to buy from.

the question is, will they accept forms as proof ? some do, some dont.

Howdy & welcome.

 

I suggest going with the opinion that would jive with with LARA states in the FAQ on page 6:

 

http://www.michigan.gov/documents/lara/lara_MMP_FAQ_6-28-13_426011_7.pdf

 

"Question:

 

What do I do between the time I sent my application to the MMP and when it is approved or denied? 

 

Answer:

 

Once it has been 20 business days since the date the check or money order has been cashed, (if the 

patient has not received a certified letter of denial from the State) then in most cases, the patient (and if a 

caregiver was designated on the application) has been approved. Pursuant to the Michigan Medical Marihuana 

Act and Administrative Rules, the copy of the application is deemed a valid registration card until the card is 

received. The patient (and if a caregiver was designated on the application) should receive their registry ID 

cards within approximately 60 days.

 

Please be aware that not all law enforcement will accept a copy of the application and you may consider 

waiting until the registry ID card is received or seek legal counsel before you proceed to obtain medicinal 

marihuana."
