Marijuana Board Says Don't Get Card From Suppliers

MPRN

(MPRN-Lansing) The state is warning prospective patients they should not go through marijuana suppliers to apply for medical marijuana cards. 

David Harns is with the Michigan medical marijuana licensing agency. He says some marijuana suppliers are saying they can process requests for patients who want official permission to use marijuana.

Harns says more often than not it’s a scam that places patients in legal jeopardy. 

“Sometimes, they’ll try to sell you a product on the spot. They’ll try to give you a temporary authorization card saying you can buy this while your application is pending. That’s not the case.”

Harns says the state does not issue temporary medical marijuana cards.
