More than 100 people applied for Michigan's new medical-marijuana program by the end of the registry's first day.
The Michigan Department of Community Health said in a statement that 85 applications were received Monday and 16 came in over the weekend for a total of 101.
Cards will be issued to those approved for the registry within three weeks.
Michigan voters legalized medical marijuana last year. Rules for the program went into effect Saturday.
Patients can apply for a state-issued ID card to protect them from arrest for growing and using marijuana to treat pain and other symptoms stemming from ailments such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. A doctor's recommendation is required.
