How do i get a cannabis card?

I had a pretty severe concussion this past Thurs thats been hurting like mad, i just wnated to know if i should go to a free clinic without having to go through my parents insurance

The basic facts (some already pointed out) summarized

1. Medical Marijuana is for chronic conditions, not a booboo that will go away in a few days, even if it does hurt a lot.

2. If your a minor forget about it.

3. Not many doctors will prescribe it, actually "recommend' is the proper term since it isn't a prescription that can be filled at a pharmacy. My guess is that no doctor at the local free clinic would do it, nor would any doctor that would be covered by your parents insurance. Of course it's all up to the doctor but most still consider it a hot potato that they don't want to touch. Just too many reputation, liability, malpractice, legal, etc. issues to deal with. Typically you need to seek out a doctor known for doing recomendations

http://www.marijuana.org/marijuana%20doctors.htm has a list of doctors in California.

Sorry, Michigan is not one of the MM states. Hopefully, in the near future.

From www.norml.org:

Q: How many states have passed medical marijuana initiatives?
A: Nine: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Arizona and California voters approved medical marijuana laws in 1996. Voters in Alaska, Oregon and Washington approved laws in 1998. Voters in Maine approved their medical marijuana initiative in 1999. Voters in Colorado and Nevada approved medical marijuana laws in 2000. Most recently, Montana voters approved a medical marijuana initiative in 2004. District of Columbia voters approved an initiative in 1998 with 69 percent of the vote, but Congress later overrode the law.

NORML is a bit outdated. This is from from www.drugwarfacts.org:

Since 1996, eleven states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ME, NV, OR, RI, VT and WA. Eight of the ten did so through the initiative process, Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, and Rhode Island's was enacted overriding the governor's veto in January 2006.
