The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA), will becomes law 10 days after the election results are certified.

-
Possess, purchase or transport 2.5 ounces or less of marijuana provided that not more that 15 grams of the marijuana is marijuana concentrate
-
Within a persons residence possess and store up to 10 ounces of marijuana of marijuana that was a gift or purchased as long as it is properly locked up
-
Give up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana away to any adult over 21 provided that no more than 15 grams of the marijuana is marijuana concentrate
-
Grow up to 12 plants per household provided that the plants are not able to be seen by the public
-
Possess and store any amount of marijuana grown from the 12 plants provided that the marijuana is locked up properly.
