How Flint patients use the medical card
Flint has a sizable medical cannabis patient population, with chronic pain, PTSD, and arthritis as the most common qualifying conditions. The city has a notable veteran population and a working-class community where chronic pain from manufacturing-era injuries remains common. A medical card provides tax savings on every purchase — significant for patients who use cannabis regularly to manage symptoms.
