Unwrapping Michigan’s Green Rules: A Friendly Guide to Daily Cannabis Possession and Purchase
Welcome, fellow Michiganders! In the Great Lakes State, we love our freedom and our fun. And with the legalization of recreational cannabis use in 2018, there’s a whole new world to explore. But, like any new adventure, it’s essential to know the rules to stay on the right side of the law. So, let’s dive into Michigan’s cannabis laws and find out what you can possess and purchase daily!
Green Thumb Greetings: The Basics
First things first, Michigan residents aged 21 and over are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces (70 grams) of cannabis in their primary residence. That’s a lot of fun, but remember, it’s essential to keep your stash within the home. As for visiting friends or family, you can carry up to 2.5 ounces between residences, but be cautious: if the law enforcement finds more than that, you could face penalties.
On-the-Go Adventures: Travel and Public Consumption
Now, what about those times when you’re on the go? Michigan allows residents to transport up to 2.5 ounces in a secured, locked container within their vehicle. But beware! Smoking or consuming cannabis is still prohibited in public spaces, so make sure your adventures keep you off the streets and in the great outdoors where it’s legal to enjoy.
Cannabis Shopping: The Dos and Don’ts
In Michigan, you can purchase up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis per day from licensed retailers. But remember, this limit is per transaction – so if you’re feeling generous, save your stash for later! These establishments will require proof of age (a state ID or driver’s license) and address before making a purchase.
Michigan Cannabis: A Growing Industry
The cannabis industry in Michigan is booming, with hundreds of licensed dispensaries and cultivation facilities popping up across the state. You can find these stores in cities like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor – just be sure to check their hours and offerings before you go!
A Few More Green Reminders
– It’s important to note that you cannot purchase cannabis from anyone other than a licensed retailer. Selling cannabis without a license is illegal, so stick to the stores.
– Edibles, concentrates, and topicals are also subject to daily possession limits: up to 15 grams of each for residents and non-residents alike.
– Cannabis use is prohibited in all federal buildings, on school grounds, and on college campuses – so be mindful when you’re out and about!
– Lastly, don’t forget that Michigan has strict penalties for driving under the influence of cannabis, so always designate a sober driver or find another safe way home.
