\”Michigan has a long history with cannabis reform, becoming one of the first Midwestern states to legalize medical cannabis in 2008 through the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act. Under the law, patients with qualifying conditions can possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and grow up to 12 plants for personal use. In 2018, Michigan voters approved Proposal 1, legalizing recreational cannabis for adults over 21. The law allows adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis in public and up to 10 ounces at home, along with the ability to grow up to 12 plants for personal use.
Michigan’s cannabis industry has grown rapidly since legalization, with licensed dispensaries offering a wide range of products for both medical and recreational users. The state has also implemented social equity programs aimed at ensuring that communities disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition have access to business opportunities in the legal market. Michigan’s cannabis market continues to expand, with sales reaching over $1 billion annually. The state’s strong regulatory framework and emphasis on social equity make it a model for other states considering cannabis legalization.\”
