Yes, the therapeutic use of cannabis has long been allowed, and this state was the first in the Middle East to legalize recreational use for people over the age of 21. Michigan law in this sense is quite permissive with respect to those of other states, and both recreational consumers and patients have very easy access to this plant, as we will see below.

 

 

⚠️ Since when is weed legal in Michigan? The historical dates

 

 

Medical marijuana has been legal since November 2008, here they called the “Michigan Compassionate Care Initiative” the law that allowed patients with certain diseases to buy or grow their own cannabis.

In contrast, recreational marijuana was not approved until 10 years later, in November 2018, through the MRTMA. This (Michigan Marijuana Tax and Regulation Act)state was not among the first to legalize adult use of this plant, but we think that its laws are much more permissive than those of other states.

The day that recreational marijuana officially began to be sold to those over 21 years of age was December 1, 2019, although many cities and small municipalities in this northern state of the USA still do not allow the sale for recreational consumption

 

 

🧐 How much marijuana can you buy and own?

 

Adults may purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces (70.85 grams) of marijuana buds each day, but the monthly purchase limit cannot exceed 10 ounces (283.4 grams) total.

For cannabis concentrates the limits are set at a 0,5 once (15 grams) maximum of per purchase, and that is the same amount that can be legally possessed. Consumers of medicinal cannabis or their authorized caregivers have the same conditions, and cannot exceed the amounts stipulated for recreational use.

🎬 Is smoking weed legal in Michigan?

 

Yes, but not anywhere, since it is only allowed in the home or private spaces with authorization. If you get caught smoking on the street or in any public space you can get a good fine, so it is best to wait until you get home to do it.

This state is taking into account some of the problems that are occurring in other parts of the USA since they legalized the use of cannabis, such as the increase in penalties for consumption in public places. For this reason , Michigan legislators have enacted a law that will allow the opening of designated consumption premises, to be able to carry cannabis and consume it there in a totally legal way.

📲 How to grow legal marijuana in Michigan?

 

One of the best points of the cannabis law in this state is that it allows the home cultivation of up to 12 marijuana plants for self-consumption. You can maintain the harvest of these plants at home, but the limits would be the same as those of possession, so you cannot exceed 283.4 grams. 

These limits are the same for both therapeutic and recreational consumers, although patients or their caregivers can apply for a license to grow larger amounts. The culture must be located in a properly closed facility and out of reach of public view.
