LANSING — Medical marijuana is turning out to be a windfall for Michigan state government.  

A report says nearly $ 10 million in revenue was collected from applicants — more than double the cost of running the program.
 

The report covers the state’s last budget year, which ended Sept. 30.A medical marijuana application costs $ 100. Caregivers who grow marijuana for people also pay a fee.

The report shows the number of registered marijuana users was up 44% in Muskegon County last fall compared with the previous 12-month period. Kent and Ottawa counties were up at least 20%.
In Michigan’s southwestern corner, the number of registered marijuana users was up 56% in Cass County and 37% in Berrien County.
Voters approved marijuana for some health problems in 2008.
