Medical marijuana was legalized in Michigan with a 2008 ballot initiative. Ten years later, voters approved a proposal that makes it legal for adults over age 21 to grow, possess and use cannabis for recreational purposes.
As of Oct. 1, there were 247,616 active patients (289 are minors) and 29,827 active caregivers, according to the state Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA).
House Bills 5300–5302, known as the Michigan Cannabis Safety Act, would tighten rules for unlicensed caregivers related to patient and plant allowances. The bills propose a new specialty medical grower (SMG) license for caregivers that includes a variety of regulations and testing of products.
Caregivers who want to keep their current five patients and 12 plants per patient count would have to apply for the specialty medical grower license. Unlicensed caregivers would be reduced to one patient and could still grow in their home.
