As the medical cannabis wave has swept through the midwest, you’ll be happy to hear that both medical and recreational marijuana are legal for adult use in Michigan. In 2008, the state passed the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act to allow those with certain debilitating conditions to obtain a medical marijuana card and purchase cannabis in Michigan at legal dispensaries.

In 2018, recreational marijuana use also became legal in Michigan! The state decided that taxing and regulating marijuana was the best way to ensure safe access to those who didn’t have a medical card in Michigan.

In today’s article, we will be going over how to get a medical marijuana card in Michigan. We’ll talk about what conditions Michigan medical marijuana patients must exemplify to receive their medical card.

Michigan Medical Marijuana Program -MMMP

In 2008, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (Yes, state legislature managed to misspell the word in their official documentation, and it has yet to be fixed). In doing so, they became the 13th state in the nation to implement a medical marijuana program.

As long as you had a doctor’s approval and could show that you had a qualifying condition such as a spinal cord injury, chronic pain, severe nausea, cancer, or another debilitating disease, you could apply for and get a medical marijuana card in the state and use it to purchase cannabis at licensed dispensaries!

How To Get Your Michigan Medical Marijuana Card?

So, how do you go about applying for your medical marijuana card in Michigan?

Thankfully, the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act made it clear that the state wasn’t going to discriminate and be quite as strict as other “green states” that required patients to be on the verge of death before they were applicable for a marijuana card.

While you still need to prove that your condition is “debilitating” to get a Michigan medical card, it’s still reasonably easy to get approved! Here’s the step-by-step process that you need to complete to ensure that your medical cannabis usage is legal in Michigan.

Step 1: Figure Out What Your Qualifying Conditions Are.

In order to get a Michigan medical card, the MMMA requires you to have one of the following qualifying conditions:

  • A spinal cord injury
  • Severe or chronic pain
  • Hepatitis C
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Seizures or severe and persistent muscle spasms
  • Glaucoma
  • Cancer
  • ALS Syndrome
  • Chrone’s Disease
  • Nail Patella
  • Persistent nausea

However, the Department of Licensing and the Department of Health are also open to broader interpretations. If your doctor deems that medical marijuana could successfully manage your underlying medical condition, then it’s fairly easy to get approved for a medical marijuana card.

Step 2: Speak with A Doctor About Using Medical Cannabis

Typically, most patients have already identified their condition. However, if you have yet to get an official diagnosis, you’ll need a physician certification to get your Michigan medical marijuana card.

Once you’ve established a good relationship with your doctor and they’ve given you a diagnosis for your condition, you’ll be able to speak to them about using medical marijuana on your symptoms. As long as you have a progressive doctor and the medical records to prove the validity of your disease, they should easily approve you to become a medical marijuana patient.

Step 3: Apply for Your Card Through The State Of Michigan

Once you’ve obtained your physician certification, you can get started applying for your Michigan marijuana identification card. You’ll present your doctor’s certification to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, show them your proof of residence, driver’s license, and any necessary medical records. Within a short period, you should receive your Michigan medical marijuana card!

Step 4: Shop at Your Local Dispensaries!

Once you’ve obtained your medical marijuana card (MMMP), you’ll be able to visit all of the Michigan marijuana dispensaries. Simply show the attendant your government-issued card, and you’ll be able to purchase cannabis flowers, oil, concentrates, salves, and several other THC-containing products. As a side note, you’ll also be able to grow a few of your own plants at home (if you have a green thumb).

Michigan Medical Marijuana Program Vs. Recreational Marijuana Use

In 2018, Michigan passed the Michigan Taxation and Regulation of Marihuana Act. This act made it legal for anybody in the state of Michigan to purchase and use cannabis without a note from their doctor. The act also allowed citizens to grow and cultivate up to 12 plants in their homes.

So, that being said, what’s the point of having a medical marijuana license if recreational cannabis use is already legal in Michigan?

Well, the main benefit of being licensed is that you’ll get a considerable tax break. It also allows for licensed patients in the state to purchase cannabis even if they’re under 21 years old! If you’re a patient who needs cannabis for a severe doctor-approved condition, then the law allows you to use it as long as you have parental consent (for those under 18).

How Long Is My License Valid For?

Your MMMP license will typically take around 20 to 30 days to arrive in the mail and is valid for up to three years. After this period, patients will have to apply for a new MMMP and verify that they are still suffering from the same disease or condition.

How Much Cannabis Can You Buy?

The purchase limits for medical or recreational cannabis (purchased with your driver’s license) are as follows:

  • 2.5-ounces on your person
  • 10 ounces at home
  • 15 grams of concentrates
  • 12 plants

Zelda is receiving yet another remake on the Nintendo Switch, this time with The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. The recently concluded February 2021 Nintendo Direct unveiled that the endeared Wii title is arriving on the Nintendo Switch. This marks the first installment into the Zelda series since Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity launched late last year.

The franchise has garnered remarkable success on the Nintendo Switch with Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild widely considered as not only one of the best release games ever, but also as one of the best games of all time.

A sequel is currently in development but Nintendo has yet to provide updates since its announcement at E3 2019. To win players over, Nintendo launched a Link’s Awakening remake, and now, the Japanese gaming giant is providing even more of Link’s timeless adventures to the hybrid console.

Nintendo recently revealed that The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD will be launching on July 16, 2021, on the Nintendo Switch with motion controls. Identical to its Wii version, players can use the right Joy-Con for the sword and the left for the shield.

Using both controllers will let the player wield a bow and arrow. The game can also be played using standard controls for those in handheld mode or the Nintendo Switch Lite as players will be utilizing their analog sticks to have more precise control over the sword very much like Ubisoft’s For Honor.

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma went on to discuss that The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword was the last mainline Zelda game before Breath of the Wild and served as an inspiration for that game. Aonuma expects that fans who loved Breath of the Wild will revisit The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword on the Nintendo Switch and that more details about the game’s sequel will be coming later this year.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD remaster was leaked last year through an Amazon listing but provided that there wasn’t an immediate reveal, people kind of forgotten it. It’s likely that the game was anticipated to be unveiled much sooner but Nintendo pushed back the announcement following development issues or an internal delay.

New Tactical RPG Project Triangle Strategy In The Works, Demo Now Available

The developer behind Octopath Traveler is ready to reveal what it has been developing lately. Square Enix appeared during the February 2021 Nintendo Direct to announce a new game, but even Octopath Traveler enthusiasts might have predicted what that new game would be. Project Triangle Strategy borrows the retro pixel-art graphics of Octopath Traveler and puts them into a tactical RPG title instead of a more traditional JRPG.

In Project Triangle Strategy, players will take on the role of Serenoa, the successor to the Glenbrook kingdom. As Serenoa, players will venture into a complex storyline in which the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.

project-triangle-strategy-debut-demo-switch-hero-en-8546595

Difficult decisions will challenge the player with selecting between Liberty, Morality, and Utility, which leads them down consequential paths, they may never have anticipated. In-depth details on the scope of the story are still unclear, but the trailer provides much more of a Final Fantasy Tactics vibe than it does a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance one.

Project Triangle Strategy also utilizes turn-based combat gameplay, but unlike Octopath Traveler, it is also developed around grid-based tactical combat. Little information about the combat has been explained, but the trailer does divulge interesting detail. For instance, it seems like battles will feature a considerable amount of allies and enemies on each map.

Project Triangle Strategy is the game’s working title, just as Project Octopath Traveler was the past game’s working title. Probabilities are developer Square Enix will remove the “Project” portion of the name when it is near its release, though there is always the chance that the name will significantly change.

For the time being, Square Enix wants to gather feedback, so a free Project Triangle Strategy demo has been released and is now available for download on the Nintendo Switch.

During last night’s Nintendo Direct livestream event, a collaboration between Super Mario and Animal Crossing New Horizons was revealed for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. The crossover is slated to arrive just a bit earlier than Animal Crossing New Horizons’ first anniversary and will include various costumes and items inspired by the classic Mario titles.

Animal Crossing New Horizons has become one of the most triumphant titles Nintendo offers, with more than 30 million copies sold during its first year in the market. Due to the game’s massive success, Animal Crossing has partnered with other big and popular brands, such as the makeup giant ColourPop, with which it released palettes and other cosmetic items inspired by a few of the characters in the game.

This time, Animal Crossing’s partnership with one of the most popular game franchises in history will include costumes for Peach, Luigi, and Mario. In addition, during the Nintendo Direct livestream, fans got to witness a sneak peek at other Mario Bros items including the iconic green pipe which has been one of the Super Mario Bros. games’ most iconic staples.

The stream also featured Mario Bros-inspired furniture, including the popular coins, a Thwomp that drops just as it does in the original Mario titles, flags, mushrooms, and even breakable blocks. There was also a preview of what the new items will cost, apparently ranging from 700 bells for a shell to 12,000 bells for the crown of Princess Peach.

The collaboration of Animal Crossing New Horizons and Super Mario will arrive on February 25. This event will occur right after the Mardi Gras event, which kicked off last February 15, called Festivale. Provided Animal Crossing New Horizons’s success, it is possible that there will be more exciting events in the next few months.

Hopefully, the upcoming Animal Crossing events will also feature interesting partnerships full of unique items to keep players engaged. The Super Mario collaboration will probably be a success among players, and it would not be a shock if the furniture and costumes were to accumulate the interest of collectors, just like items from past in-game events have.

In addition to the Animal Crossing New Horizons collaboration, Super Mario will continue dropping bombs for its 35th-anniversary festivities. Thus far, there have been a few time-limited game launches, such as Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and a myriad of collectible pins that players have been attempting to get their hands on, though some players have been out of luck for the pins.

Genshin Impact Player Calculates Diluc and Amber’s Current In-Game Age

The investigative powers of fans have always been impressive, as they are almost always capable of finding out certain details about a particular game or its characters without any official statement from developers. This time around, one Genshin Impact player has done the math and discovered the current in-game ages of characters, Diluc and Amber.

The fan was able to reach this conclusion thanks to miHoYo’s manga stories which gave players insight to a bit of lore, as well as in-game references that helped with their calculations.

In case you haven’t heard of it, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play multiplayer game from Chinese developer miHoYo. It launched globally only last year, but was able to quickly rise through the charts to become one of the biggest online games in the market right now. It’s available to play on multiple platforms, including mobile and PC, and continues to receive regular updates that add new features and playable characters.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2021-02-18-16_03_43

Some of the reasons why Genshin Impact is so appealing to the video game community is its wide array of characters as well as its expansive open world. However, one other aspect of the online game that has really caught the fans’ attention is its narrative and lore. The pieces of information that fans have uncovered surrounding Genshin Impact’s universe have been interesting thus far.

Genshin Impact’s plot isn’t confusing or complex in any way, but most often than not, the game’s storylines leave players with unanswered questions simply because miHoYo prefers to keep things mysterious and open-ended. As a matter of fact, even some basic details about the online game’s lore are still hazy, such as the different characters’ age.

Fortunately, one Genshin Impact fan took it upon themselves to find out how old Diluc and Amber are in the game’s current narrative. The player in question, Beneficial_Fennel_10, recently posted their findings on the Genshin Impact Reddit community.

I figured out Amber and Diluc age. from Genshin_Impact

From the post, the player gathered information from the different sources available, namely the manga, an in-game message, and the game’s current timeline. After utilizing all the available information and making the necessary calculations, Beneficial_Fennel_10 reached the conclusion that Amber is currently 18 in-game while Diluc is 22.

Of course, this kind of information doesn’t really add anything significant to the game, but it’s a fun detail that Genshin Impact players may have been curious to know. Diluc is a character who is, more often than not, serious and brooding. As such, many may find that he seems more mature than a 22-year-old. On the other hand, some fans defend this by saying that he’s a character who has been through a lot, which could explain his personality.

As for Amber, she’s a very happy-go-lucky character, which makes sense if she really is 18. Dedicated Genshin Impact players have invested a lot in these characters—some even financially—so Reddit user Beneficial_Fennel_10’s efforts in finding out Amber and Diluc’s age doesn’t come as a surprise. We’re definitely interested to see if this will drive other players to dig even deeper and unearth other details about Genshin Impact and its wide array of characters.

Mario Golf Super Rush Revealed For The Nintendo Switch

Mario Golf Super Rush was just announced a few hours ago during the Nintendo Direct February 2021 online streaming event. The Mario Golf franchise, which sees everyone’s favorite plumber putting green along with his friends, started all the way back in the NES Open Tournament Golf on the Famicom Disc System. The series was popularized as Mario Golf on the Nintendo 64, and the latest installment came in 2014 with Mario Golf: World Tour for the Nintendo 3DS.

While the franchise may not be as famous as more mainstream Nintendo franchises such as Super Mario Bros. or Legend of Zelda, the Mario Golf franchise has become a long-running staple of Nintendo gaming.

mario-golf-super-rush-title-screen-2760754

With over seven years since the last entry in the franchise, a lot of fans have started expecting a new release. Back in November 2020, a rumor started going around that a new Mario sports game, probably Mario Golf, was in development by first-party Nintendo developer Camelot. The game was speculated to be scheduled for launch in early 2021 for the Nintendo Switch.

During the recently concluded Nintendo Direct event, the developer revealed Mario Golf Super Rush, a new entry in the Mario Golf franchise. The game will feature a couple of familiar Mario characters such as Bowser, Waluigi, Yoshi, and Mario himself.

Terrain scanning and a slope gauge will let players patiently work out the perfect putt for a hole in one. Different game modes will significantly change how the game of golf is played, specifically a Speed Golf mode where players must take a shot then run to their ball for a quick change of pace. The game will let players use their original classic button controls or opt for motion controls using the hybrid console’s Joy-Cons.

The Mario franchise may be over three decades old, but the energetic Italian plumber shows no signs of slowing down. The latest launch in the series, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, has been considered as a remarkably skillful port of the Wii U game. Launching on the Nintendo Switch, the upgraded game augments on the original launch and features a brand new mode that adds new mechanics to the already colossal release.

The Mario Golf series dates back to Nintendo’s earliest systems, so the fact that it has made it to the current-gen consoles is quite extraordinary. Mario Golf: Super Rush appears to be mixing simulated real-world golf tactics with the series’ iconic speed and color, and the outcome appears quite promising.

Bravely Default 2 Releases Final Trailer Before Release

Video games have come so far, yet there will always be those who will favor traditional JRPGs similar to the long-running Final Fantasy series. So when Bravely Default was released (and subsequently the announcement of Bravely Default 2), many within the gaming community rejoiced.

Since its initial announcement, many details about Bravely Default 2 have already been released through a variety of teasers and trailers. For instance, we already have a good grasp on the regions where the game is set, as well as the different job classes that players can expect to find in-game.

Of course, we expect that the game’s development team still has all sorts of secrets and surprises hidden away, but thanks to these regularly released trailers, excited players now have a good idea of what they can expect once Bravely Default 2 is launched. That being said, publisher Nintendo felt the need to give away just a bit more information for the last time by dropping a final trailer for the game after the recent Nintendo Direct took place.

Of course, most of the information gleaned from the final trailer are details that were already revealed in previous trailers. As such, it is more or less just a reiteration of what we know so far about Bravely Default 2, reminding fans of all the features and content that they can look forward to like incredible visuals, a new world to explore, and elements of the classic JRPG where players are tasked to save the world from destruction.

Most of the major gameplay mechanics, such as the job classes, were already showcased before. Just like the first Bravely Default game, players will have to defeat particular bosses if they want to gain access to specific jobs. When we say that Bravely Default 2 will feature a new world, this doesn’t necessarily mean that developer Claytechworks will change the game’s formula.

Bravely Default 2’s formula will still have the usual JRPG elements wherein an authoritarian nation wants to take over the entire world. Like in Final Fantasy fashion, there will be a party of four different heroes who will traverse the realm, utilize and protect elemental crystals, and stop the militaristic nation in the process. We expect that there will also be some secret divine being working behind the scenes, although we have yet to find out what or who that will be.

screenshot-www-youtube-com-2021-02-18-15_13_45

As for its combat system, Bravely Default fans will be happy to know that this aspect has remained mostly the same. While it utilizes the all familiar turn-based system that most JRPG’s have, Bravely Default 2 also builds upon it by implementing something else to its combat.

Specifically, players have the option to guard (default), which allows them to store up additional turns. Once they’re ready to make a move, players can then use up all the stored turns to do multiple moves in one turn (brave). It’s definitely an interesting addition to turn-based combat, and one that many fans appreciate.

Overall, it looks like Bravely Default 2 is going to be yet another solid title that will be joining the roster of JRPGs.

Nintendo Direct Announces Star Wars Hunters for the Nintendo Switch

The gaming community always looks forward to a Nintendo Direct livestream, as it’s usually when a bunch of new and exciting gaming announcements take place. The most recent one isn’t any different, as it revealed upcoming titles that are headed to Nintendo’s hybrid handheld console.

During this latest Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Star Wars Hunters will be released on the console this year. The upcoming game in question is going to be a multiplayer title, and will star familiar and well-loved characters from the long-running franchise.

Although some of the announcements made during the livestream was expected, given that a few details of the Nintendo Direct’s contents were leaked before the show took place, the news surrounding Star Wars Hunters was completely unexpected. What’s even more surprising about this reveal is that Zynga will be at the helm of this game’s development.

star-warshunters-logo-tall-329797y56-2705608

A bunch of Star Wars games have been cropping up recently, and that’s to be expected, given the fact that more and more studios have been given access to the IP. In fact, we expect that even more titles revolving around the franchise will be announced in the future, especially since Star Wars remains prominent even today.

When Ubisoft announced its open-world Star Wars titles, it quickly gained traction and was featured in several headlines. Even classic games like Knights of the Old Republic have been gaining attention once again now that the franchise is open to more studios. For quite a long time, fans of the Star Wars franchise—and gamers in general—have always felt like the video game’s license could do so much more than what it has been offering so far.

Some fans blame Electronic Arts for that, but no matter the case, it’s been a breath of fresh air to see that video games in the Star Wars franchise are being handled in new and reinvigorating ways. The fans’ renewed interest only got stronger when, during this month’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Star Wars Hunters is in the works and that it’s slated to launch within 2021.

The announcement came with a trailer, and asides from familiar characters and weaponry, there’s not a lot of information about the upcoming title just yet.

Star Wars Hunters is apparently going to be a multiplayer game, but we have yet to find out what kind of game it is exactly, and how it will work as a multiplayer title. On the bright side, fans could expect more information about the game soon, seeing as it’s expected to launch later this year. The video game community didn’t have an inkling about Star Wars Hunters before the recent Nintendo Direct. Perhaps the game is almost done with development, that’s why it’s only being showcased now.

Also, it’s interesting that it’s being developed by Zynga. It makes one wonder how mobile-like Star Wars Hunters is going to play. It’s also possible that it will utilize battle passes and cosmetic items, seeing as it’s more on the multiplayer side of gaming. For now, however, Craig Derrick—one of Lucasfilm Games’ employees—assures fans that Star Wars Hunters will be “a TON of fun,” so that’s another thing to look forward to this year.

Anime Based on Popular MOBA Dota 2 Is in the Works

As is usually the case, a franchise is usually available in different forms of media, as one type of media often inspires the creation of another type, whether it’s a novel series, a movie or TV series, to video games, among others. The Witcher series would be a great example for this—the original fantasy novel series by Andrzej Sapkowski inspired the creation of the video games, which also led to the creation of the now popular TV series.

Although movies that are adapted from video games miss the sweet spot most often than not, this doesn’t seem to be the case with TV show adaptations. This can be seen in the way the Castlevania animated series was a popular hit, whereas the recent Monster Hunter film featuring Milla Jovovich wasn’t considered to be that great.

That being said, Valve Corporation recently announced that it will be collaborating with Netflix to release a Dota 2 anime, much to the fans’ surprise. The highly popular MOBA by Valve was first released back in 2013, and it was inspired by the Defense of the Ancients (DotA) custom map found in Blizzard’s Warcraft 3.

screenshot-pbs-twimg-com-2021-02-18-12_52_27

Even though it has been out for how many years now, Dota 2 is still considered to be one of the most popular MOBA games out there—even until today. At this point, the developer has introduced all kinds of new updates and features to Dota 2, with the game having more than a hundred playable heroes at this point in time. The MOBA title’s steadfast popularity in an industry with other popular titles like League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm is actually quite impressive.

In other news, Netflix and Valve have announced the existence of DOTA: Dragon’s Blood, which is an upcoming animated series based on Dota 2 and will therefore be set in its world. Along with the exciting news is an announcement trailer, and while nothing of significance takes place in the aforementioned trailer, it offers a couple of key details.

DOTA: Dragon’s Blood will follow the Dragon Knight, Davion, and his exciting adventures. Dedicated Dota 2 fans will be familiar with this character, as he’s one of the Strength Heroes in the popular MOBA game. The trailer is only a few seconds short, so it doesn’t feature much—however, it does show Davion fight a dragon. The first season of the upcoming animated series will have 8 episodes, and it will air next month on March 25, 2021.

It appears that Davion will also be crossing paths with Princess Mirana in the anime, who is another playable hero in Dota 2’s roster of characters. Ashley Edward Miller, the executive producer of the upcoming show, said that DOTA: Dragon’s Blood will be “an epic, emotional and adult-oriented story.”

As such, fans are wondering if the series will have a TV-MA rating like the Castlevania animated series. While there’s no confirmation just yet about this regard, fans believe that this will likely be the case. What’s more, DOTA: Dragon’s Blood will be animated by none other than Studio MIR, who also worked on other popular animated shows like The Legend of Korra.

Needless to say, many Dota 2 fans, old and new alike, will be looking forward to March 25 when the show premieres.

Latest No Man’s Sky Update Allows Players to Adopt Alien Pets

No Man’s Sky was released in 2016, and it actually wasn’t as well-received back then as it is today. The initial launch of the exploration survival game garnered polarizing opinions, and its developer, Hello Games, had to revamp and re-haul the game in every possible way in order to provide fans the experience that was initially promised to them prior to the game’s release.

Its years of effort didn’t go to waste, though—Hello Games was able to successfully change No Man’s Sky for the better. In turn, it managed to keep the fans who were passionate about the game, as it slowly added new features that made the game better like VR support, co-op, third-person perspective, base building, and a lot more.

Even now, Hello Games hasn’t stopped supporting No Man’s Sky. As a matter of fact, a brand-new update has been launched. In this update, a completely new gameplay feature has been included, which is the ability to have alien pets and let them accompany players on their journey.

https://twitter.com/hellogames/status/1362064220712534016?s=20

The announcement was made on Hello Games’ official Twitter account as well as on a PlayStation Blog post, which was accompanied with a new trailer showcasing what the new companion update has to offer. Naturally, the video highlighted how the new pet update will work and what fans can expect from it.

The official trailer for the Companions update is only a little over a minute long, but it was able to convey what it needed to. It begins with a player character catching the attention of their alien pet with a whistle. Afterwards, the companion begins to follow the player character around. As the trailer continues, it becomes clear to see that any creature—no matter its size—can become a trusty sidekick in No Man’s Sky with this new update.

Whether it’s a regular-sized creature to a massive one, they can be seen following their owners as they traverse the game’s expansive world. Not only that, it appears that players can summons these companions anywhere in No Man’s Sky’s world, which makes them great decorative cosmetics players can boast about to their friends, or simply a buddy to have around when playing the game solo.

screenshot-blog-playstation-com-2021-02-18-07_33_14

The excitement doesn’t end there, though; it seems that with this newest update, players will be given the option to ride on particular creatures that have been made into pets. There’s one part in the trailer where the player character can be seen riding on top of a sizeable creature that looks similar to a beetle.

Through the PlayStation Blog post, Hello Games founder Sean Murray also says that players who have pets will be able to feed them as well as play with them. If the companion and the player have formed a bond with each other, then it can even help the player out with different tasks, like hunting and fighting. Although, this will completely depend on how deep their relationship has become.

The more players interact with their pets, the closer and more bonded they will be. The creature’s home planet will also affect its personality and traits. Meaning to say that the needs of one player’s pet may not necessarily be the same as the other.

This new Companions update is definitely an exciting addition to No Man’s Sky, even impressing fans with how far it has come and how much it has changed for the better.
