Medical Marijuana in Michigan

While recreational marijuana has been legal in Michigan for less than a year, medical marijuana has been a Michigan staple for over a decade. Passed in 2008 by 63 percent of voters, the Michigan Compassionate Care Initiative allowed medical marijuana in the state, though it didn't create a regulatory framework for medical marijuana dispensaries in Michigan, meaning patients couldn't legally buy it. Today, doctors are able to recommend medical marijuana treatment to patients that can buy their marijuana from a local medical marijuana dispensary using their state-issued ID card.

Recreational Marijuana in Michigan

On November 6, 2018, Michigan became the 10th state to pass a recreational marijuana bill with the support of 56 percent of Michigan voters. The first state in the Midwest to do so, the new law would allow adults aged 21 and older to possess up to two-and-a-half ounces of flower marijuana in public, store up to 10 ounces of marijuana at home, and grow up to 12 plants at home.

However, after passing in November 2018, there are still no legal ways to purchase weed in the state as a recreational customer. All dispensaries currently serve only the medical marijuana market, and the first marijuana dispensaries in Michigan for recreational users are scheduled to open sometime in 2020.
