Green Guidelines: Navigating Michigan’s Cannabis Purchase Quantities
Welcome, cannabis enthusiasts of the Great Lakes State! If you’re new to Michigan’s vibrant cannabis scene or a seasoned connoisseur, understanding the purchase quantity regulations is crucial for a smooth sailing experience. Let’s dive into the green waters of Michigan’s marijuana market and help you navigate its regulatory seas!
The Grand Rapids Glide: Daily Purchase Limits
Remember the old saying, “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful”? Not quite in this case! In Michigan, adult-use cannabis consumers are only allowed to purchase up to 2.5 ounces (or about 70 grams) of cannabis per day from a licensed provisioning center. If you’re a medical marijuana patient, the limit increases to 5 ounces per day for up to a 15-day supply. Keep these limits in mind when planning your trips to dispensaries!
The Port Huron Provisions: Possession and Carry Limits
Now that you know your daily purchase limits, let’s talk about what you can possess and transport. Michigan residents 21 and older may legally possess up to 10 ounces of cannabis at home and up to 2.5 ounces outside the residence. For medical marijuana patients, the home limit increases to 15 ounces and the carry limit remains 2.5 ounces.
The Flint Fines: Penalties for Exceeding Limits
As you may have guessed, exceeding the possession or purchase limits can lead to some unwelcome attention from law enforcement. The penalties vary based on the amount over the limit and whether it’s your first offense or not. First-time offenders with up to 2.5 ounces more than the legal limit could face a fine of up to $1,000, while repeat offenders may face fines up to $5,000, community service, or even jail time.
The Lansing Lessons: Growing Your Own Green
If you’re looking to grow your own cannabis plants at home, Michigan allows adults 21 and older to cultivate up to 12 marijuana plants (only 3 of which can be mature) per residence. Medical marijuana patients with a caregiver may have up to 72 plants, but only 12 can be mature at any given time.
The Saginaw Solutions: Edibles and Concentrates
When it comes to edibles and concentrates, the rules are slightly different. Adults can purchase up to 15 grams of cannabis concentrate per day and up to 16 ounces (or about 450 grams) of cannabis-infused edibles. Medical marijuana patients have the same limits for edibles but can purchase up to 3.5 ounces of cannabis concentrate per day.
