Now, after the passage of the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act or the MMFLA (M.C.L. 333.27401 et seq.) that is possible, but only if you acquire municipal approval and a State issued operations license. "Provisioning Center" is the legally allowable term under Michigan's Bureau of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation, for what was previously referred to colloquially as a "dispensary."

A provisioning center is essentially a company where qualifying patients under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act or the MMMA (M.C.L. 333.26421 et seq.) can come to purchase medical marihuana for medical usage. While a provisioning center can be a profitable en...

Anyone that is a registered qualifying patient or registered caregiver with the State of Michigan operating under the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) will certainly not be influenced by the new MMFLA. The same civil liberties, advantages, immunities as well as protections available under the MMMA will still apply to patients and also caregivers that are adhering to the regulations. As a result, a patient or caregiver might continue to grow medical marijuana, as long as it is done within the boundaries established by the MMMA, with no extra guidelines, constraints or policies. The Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA) does not conflict with, change, or customize, at all, the MMMA.

Such organisations will certainly enable greater access to registered patients and caregivers to get medical marijuana for themselves and their patients. Those greater access pos...

The Bureau of Medical marijuana Regulation is standing firm on their stance that all marijuana centers that are not licensed by the State under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, will have to shut down, and will get a cease and desist letter at that time. While the facilities are not mandated to close down, the State Bureau of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has made clear that any center that continues to operate after receipt of the cease and desist will most likely not be granted a license.

So, where does that leave registered caregivers, that were expecting to be able to remain relevant to their patients up until 2021? Traditional The old model for registered caregivers ...

Earlier this month, the Court of Appeals, in a split choice, established that the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act does NOT protect caregivers or patients that remain in possession of wet cannabis that remains in the drying process, from prosecution. The Courts ruling in the case of People v. Vanessa Mansour determined that because wet marijuana that was in the drying out procedure was not usable marijuana, possession of wet marijuana was not protected by the MMMA. The MMMA defines much of the terms of the act. The term usable marijuana is specifically defined in the MMMA. The act defines usable marijuana to suggest the following: "Usable marihuana" means the dried leaves, flowers, plant resin, or extract of the marihuana plant, yet does not consist of the seeds, stalks, and also roots of the plant. The Court found that due to the fact that the act chose to use the word "dried" before the remaining components, that implied that wet, undried cannabis was not a componen...
