Green Michigan Guidelines: Navigating the Mile High Limit
Welcome fellow plant enthusiasts to the wonderful world of Michigan’s cannabis market! With the legalization of recreational marijuana in our great state, it’s high time we talk about one of the most frequently asked questions: purchasing limits. Let’s dive into the Mile High Limit, a term that’s causing quite a buzz among budding connoisseurs!
First things first, Michigan residents and visiting adults (21 years or older) are allowed to purchase cannabis products from state-licensed dispensaries. But how much can you actually buy at one time? That’s what we’re here to discuss!
The Mile High Limit: A Quick Overview
In Michigan, the purchasing limit for adult-use cannabis is 2.5 ounces (70 grams) per transaction and 10 ounces (284 grams) at home. This total of 10 ounces is a combination of:
1. Up to 2.5 ounces from a provisioning center (dispensary) in a 14-day period
2. Up to 5 ounces grown by the resident at home
3. Up to 2.5 ounces gifted between residents (but remember, no money can exchange hands)
Now that we’ve got the basics covered, let’s take a closer look!
Purchasing from Provisioning Centers
When making purchases at Michigan’s provisioning centers, keep in mind that you are limited to 2.5 ounces per transaction, every 14 days. This means if you visit the dispensary today, you can purchase up to 2.5 ounces. Come back in 13 days and make another purchase, but remember, the total cannot exceed 2.5 ounces again until after another 14 days have passed.
Cultivating at Home
If you’re feeling extra green-thumbed, Michigan residents can grow up to 12 cannabis plants in their homes (with no more than 6 of those plants being mature). However, keep in mind that the home cultivation limit does not add significantly to your Mile High Limit. You can only have a total of 5 ounces grown at home, which includes any bud from mature plants.
Gifting Between Residents
Sharing is caring! Michigan residents are allowed to gift cannabis to one another without exchanging money. Just remember that the recipient’s possession limit remains in effect (2.5 ounces on their person or at home, and up to 10 ounces total). Additionally, gifting is limited to 2.5 ounces per recipient every 365 days.
Transporting Your Treasures
It’s essential to keep your cannabis purchases secure while transporting them. Keep your stash in a sealed, child-resistant container and store it in the trunk of your vehicle or out of reach of the driver’s seat. Remember, consuming marijuana while driving is illegal, so always save your sesh for home!
Keeping Up with the Law
Stay informed about Michigan cannabis laws to ensure you’re always within the limits. Keep an eye on updates and changes to the law, as they may affect your Mile High Limit. You can find up-to-date information on the Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MMRA) website.
Stay Green, Stay Safe!
Navigating the Mile High Limit might seem complex at first, but once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll be cruising through the Michigan cannabis scene like a pro! Always remember to keep your purchases secure, consume responsibly, and above all, enjoy this wonderful plant that our great state has to offer.
Stay green, Michigan friends!
