Registering for a medical marijuana card can feel complicated, so we’ve broken it down into five simple steps:

1. Get your medical records from your primary care doctor to show that you have a qualifying diagnosis recognized by the state.
2. Make an appointment with a clinic. You can use this database to find a reputable clinic in your area.
3. Go to the appointment. You can expect a standard exam and discussion of whether medical marijuana is right for your needs. It will feel like a typical doctor appointment and is a great time to ask questions.
4. Most clinics require anywhere from a $100-250 examination fee. If you’re determined to be a candidate, fill out an application online or in paper using this guide. The initial application costs $40 and renewing a card costs $40 every two years. You may get your registration as quickly as that day. If you don’t hear back, call the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), which regulates cannabis-related matters in Michigan at 517-284-6400.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds in cannabis believed to have a variety of mental and physical benefits. Every strain has a different terpene profile that creates its unique aroma and potential effect range. Here are some of the most well know terpenes:

• Myrcene (Herbal): Found in hops, mango, lemongrass. Promotes a calming, sedative effect.
• Pinene (Pine): Found in pine needles, rosemary, basil, dill. May reduce pain, inflammation, and anxiety.
• Caryophyllene (Peppery): Found in black pepper, cloves, cinnamon. Believed to have anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Limonene (Citrus): Found in fruit rinds, rosemary, juniper, peppermint. Potentially helpful with anxiety and stress relief.
• Terpinolene (Fruity): Found in nutmeg, tea, cumin, lilacs. Can have an uplifting effect.
• Linalool (Floral): Found in Lavender, birch bark. Creates relaxing and calming effects.
• Humulene (Herbal): Found in hops, wood. Potential for anti-inflammatory effects.
• Ocimene (Sweet and Woody): Found in mint, parsley, basil, orchids. Potential antifungal, antiseptic and decongestant.

There is no one way to consume cannabis. Most users prefer one method or the other, but the world of cannabis consumption is always growing and creating new methods to enjoy. Here are a few of the top methods consumers use to consume cannabis:

• Smoking: Smoking dried flower or “bud” from the cannabis plant is the most well-known method of ingestion. It gives users the most control of the strain and can activate within seconds of inhaling. Cannabis can be smoked in a pipe, bong, joint (which can be purchased pre-rolled for added ease), or even dab rigs for concentrates specifically.
• Vaping: Vaping is a smokeless form of inhalation that uses a device to heat the plant or its oil into vapor. Vaping is a great option for people who dislike the harsh feeling of smoking or don’t like the smell of cannabis.
• Edibles: Edibles can come in many forms, including pills, gummies, chocolates, beverages, and mints. Edibles are highly discreet, and their effect lasts longer than other forms of cannabis. However, because the cannabinoids are absorbed in the liver, edibles take longer to activate, which can make it more challenging to get the right dose.
• Tinctures: Tinctures are placed under the tongue with a dropper and absorbed sublingually so the cannabinoids go directly into the bloodstream. They onset faster than edibles, but not as quickly as inhalation and are both discreet and odorless.
• Topicals: Topicals are ideal for localized pain and inflammation because the cannabinoid is applied directly and absorbed by the skin for a more focused effect. They are not psychoactive, which makes them ideal for new users with low THC tolerance.

Although indica and sativa are both cannabis plants, there are some big differences, especially when it comes to their effects. Cannabis plants vary in size, leaf shape, and cannabinoids from strain to strain, but most are split into indica or sativa-dominant strains. In today’s cannabis market, hybrids of these two types are becoming more and more common as growers strive to get the best of each.

Here are some key differences and characteristics of sativa and indica cannabis plants:

• Sativa: tall, narrow plants with slimmer leaves, sativas are known for producing stimulating and focused effects. Due to their more cerebral effects, users tend to rely on sativas for focus, creativity, and reducing social anxiety. THC tends to be higher in these plants compared to indicas.
• Indica: short, broad plants with bushy leaves, indicas tend to produce sedative and relaxing effects that are usually felt in the body. Users choose indicas for their recovery, rest, and pain-reducing effects. CBD tends to be higher in these plants compared to sativas.

Concentrates are all the things you want out of cannabis, without the plant matter you don’t need. Through a variety of different extraction processes, we remove the THC, CBD, terpenes, and cannabinoids from flower to create a new efficient, potent product. ​

We don’t recommend first-time buyers try concentrates, but those who are more experienced may find a more exciting or personalized experience from the world of concentrates.

Concentrates come in a variety of different textures that vary in potency and terpene levels, so you can choose which one works best for you. Some common textures include:

• Distillate: Pure cannabis oil — distilled down to a single cannabinoid, typically THC or CBD. Terpenes are added back in after processing.​
• Kief: Raw trichome heads that have fallen off the flower, typically during processing or grinding.
• Shatter: Hard, glass-like consistency made by ​baking extracted concentrates to achieve ​its hardened texture.
• Badder: whipped extract. Introducing air into extracts creates the Badder texture.
• Crumble: Freeze-dried extract. Final texture is heavily dependent on a plant’s terpene profile.
• Sugar: Crystalized THC – THCa. Concentrates will naturally turn into sugar over time, due to THC’s naturally crystalline nature.
• Diamonds & Sauce: Diamonds: 100% THCa crystals, Sauce: high terpene extract. Combine both for outstanding flavors and effects.
• Rosin: Trichomes extracted through heat and pressure using a rosin press.
• RSO (Rick Simpson Oil): A high THC, full spectrum extract mixed with ethanol.
• Tincture: Pure THC oil. All other terpenes and cannabinoids removed.

The age-old question of “how long does THC stay in your system” is not one with a single answer. The real answer is it depends. THC stays in everyone’s body a little differently, so it’s important to know your body, as well as your consumption habits, if you’re worried about THC being an issue.

Everyone’s body is different, which means any of the following can affect how long THC stays in your system:

• Your metabolism
• Body fat percentage
• Exercise and activity levels
• Eating habits
• Frequency of cannabis consumption
• A cannabis product’s THC percentage

Another factor that determines how long THC is considered “in your system” is what THC test you’re taking. Though tests may vary, here are the average timespans that THC is detectable by each test:

• Blood: For infrequent users, blood tests will detect THC up to two days after consumption. Frequent users may detect THC for up to a week.
• Urine: These tests are the most used method to detect THC and are known for detecting it later than most tests. Urine tests will vary mainly depending on frequency of use, which makes it important to understand your habits.
  • One-time users will detect THC for around five to eight days after consumption.
  • If you consume two to four times a week, urine tests will likely detect THC from 11 to 18 days after consumption.
  • Those who consume five to six days a week risk THC detection for 33 to 48 days after consumption.
  • Everyday users run the risk of failing a THC test 50 to 65 days after consumption, depending on metabolism.
• Hair: THC tests that rely on hair are the most sensitive of all THC tests. These tests are known to detect THC anywhere from three months to years back, depending on consumption habits and the sample used.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in both hemp and cannabis. CBD, unlike THC, is non-intoxicating and has been found to have a wide range of potentially therapeutic benefits. Although research is still considered relatively new, CBD is being studied for its ability to reduce anxiety, pain, insomnia, and other conditions. ​

CBD typically interacts with our endocannabinoid system but has the potential to influence other receptors in our bodies. One of the benefits cannabis users are discovering is CBD’s ability to reduce THC’s activation of CB1 receptors in our bodies, reducing some of the potentially less savory side effects of cannabis consumption.
