Ruling By State Supreme court
Driving under the influence of marijuana is a crime in Michigan.
When marijuana is involved any amount of marijuana that was in the driver’s blood or urine while he was driving will establish that the driver was under the influence. (Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 257.625(1),(2)(c), (4)(c), &(8).)
Penalties for Driving Under the Influence
Penalties vary according to whether the offense is a first of subsequent conviction. And, while not described here, harsher penalties apply if alcohol is also involved in the offense.
First convictions. Defendants face a fine of up to $300, up to 93 days in jail, up to 360 hours of community service, or any combination of these penalties. (Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 257.625(9)(a).)
Second conviction within seven years. Defendants face a fine of between $200 and $1,000, between five days and one year in jail, between 30 and 90 days of community service, or any combination of these penalties. (Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 257.625(9)(b).)
Third and subsequent convictions. Defendants face a fine of between $500 and $5,000; and either one to five years in prison, or probation (with 30 days to one year in jail, and 60 to 180 days of community service). (Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 257.625(9)(c).)
The court may order vehicle immobilization for not more than 180 days.
Therefore if any patient identifies themselves, a police officer will be more likely to arrest that patient thinking that it is probable their THC level is unlawful.

Do not show your card!
Do not consent to testing, make the police get a court order, this is your right.
