More than 2 percent of Michigan residents have a medical marijuana card, according to the most recent state data.

That data shows there are 218,556 patients with a medical marijuana card as of Sept. 30, 2016, plus 38,057 caretakers with a card so they can obtain marijuana for a designated patient.

The number of patient cardholders has increased 76 percent since 2012, the data shows.

Below is an online database with county-level data for 2012 through 2016. The big caveat: The decline in 2014 reflects the initiation of a two-year registry program, meaning the 2014 numbers only reflect some registrants because previous registrants did not have to re-register during that time period.

The display shows the total number of patient and caregiver cardholders as of Sept. 30, 2016, the rate per 1,000 residents in the county, and the increase in patient cardholders since 2012.

Michigan voters approved use of medical marijuana in 2008. There currently is a petition drive under way to put a proposal on the November 2018 ballot to legalize use of recreational marijuana in Michigan.
