Marijuana is commonly used as a pain killer when traditional pain treatments have not been successful at managing pain levels. Qualifying patients are able to legally use medical marijuana to manage their pain and other symptoms.

The Michigan medical marijuana law allows the consumption of marijuana as pain management for qualifying patients who suffer from a variety of debilitating illnesses such as:
- Cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, Crohn's disease, agitation of Alzheimer's disease
- Chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition that causes severe pain, nausea and seizures
Qualifying patients are required to register with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. As part of your registration, your physician must state in writing that you have one of the above medication conditions and that medical marijuana would relieve the symptoms of your condition.
If you are not properly registered as a medical marijuana user, you may be subject to marijuana charges for illegal marijuana possession or use. If you are not property registered as a caregiver who may administer medical marijuana, you may be charged with the sale of, or intent to sell, marijuana.
Given that drug crimes carry severe penalties and other consequences, it is important to obtain knowledgeable legal counsel to build a solid legal defense when you have been charged with illegal marijuana possession or use. Attorney Mark J. Mandell has extensive experience handling cases arising in relation to the medical marijuana law — he will provide an aggressive defense on your behalf, to successfully have the charges against you dismissed.
