Driving with medical marijuana

Often we are asked by patients across Michigan the same question, can we drive with our medicine? This is important when leaving the dispensary, transporting live plants or when caregivers deliver patients the medicine.

There is current legislation (HB 4856 summarized below) that stands a chance of getting to Governor Snyders desk for a ready signature. The bill around driving with marijuana appears to be a common sense approach and gives us clarification around the issue, despite the double standard marijuana has over other medicine.

What We Have to Say About Marijuana and Veterans

Many brave men and women who have risked their lives in service to our country are now suffering from physical, mental health, and substance abuse problems. We have an obligation to care for our military families and veterans and to improve their lives by increasing access to vital treatment services specifically geared toward our military heroes. While the Administration continues to support research on what parts of the marijuana plant may be used as medicine, neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the Institute of Medicine has found smoked marijuana to meet the modern standard of safe or effective medicine. We will continue working with our partners in the medical community to ensure that veterans have access to science-based medical treatments and get the help they and their families need.
