On November 6th 2018 Michigan became the 10th state to legalize recreational adult use of marijuana. The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA), will becomes law 10 days after the election results are certified. Once it become law it will be lawful for adults over 21 to lawfully do the following:
-
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.
It is still possible that those who act outside of the MRTMA could be prosecuted for crimes involving cannabis. The Michigan Cannabis Lawyers have experience representing those accused of crimes involving cannabis/marijuana including but not limited to:

Call the Michigan Cannabis Lawyers to discuss your case.

Does smoking marijuana impair your ability to drive?
/1 Comment/in Marijuana DUI /by MCL AdminThe Michigan Impaired Driving Safety Commission was created and given the task of conducting research in order to recommend a scientifically supported threshold of △9-THC. This threshold, much like the .08 blood alcohol level threshold, would indicate to Michigan police whether or not a cannabis user is considered impaired while driving.
