More details to this question:
I got a ticket for possession of cannabis while I was in the car with some friends and paid it the day after. And now almost two months after the ticket I received a letter saying my license was suspended. Does the suspension start now or when I got the ticket and how can they wait so long to give me a letter about it? Also how could they suspend it when I wasn't driving.

In Michigan if you get convicted of a criminal offense involving illegal substances then you license gets suspended whether you were in a car or not. The letter should state when the suspension started and how long it runs.

Drivers license suspension for possession of THC is not necessarily related to driving; it's just an additional penalty. I would check with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to be sure when the suspension starts. I conjecture that it starts only with your receipt of the notice which is different from the case of suspension for DWI.
