The Green Wave Rolls In: Michigan’s Marijuana Legalization
In 2018, the Great Lakes State made waves by legalizing recreational marijuana, joining the growing list of states embracing this plant’s potential. However, with great power comes great responsibility—and rules. One crucial aspect to grasp is the quantity restrictions for sales.
Quantity Quotas: Keeping Things in Check
Michigan has established limits on the amount of cannabis that can be purchased at one time and kept in possession. Here’s a breakdown of these restrictions:
– Possession Limit: As a recreational user, you may possess up to 2.5 ounces (70 grams) of marijuana on your person or in your home. For medical patients, the limit increases to 2.5 ounces per day and up to 10 ounces at home.
– Purchase Limit: At a licensed retailer, adults 21 and older can purchase up to 2.5 ounces (70 grams) of marijuana in one transaction. Medical patients have no daily purchase limit but may not possess more than 10 ounces at home.
– Transfer Limit: Gifting marijuana is prohibited, even between adults 21 and older. The only legal transfer is from a licensed retailer to you as a consumer.
Why the Limits?
These limits are in place for several reasons: to prevent hoarding, minimize black market activity, protect public safety, and ensure the responsible use of marijuana by adults. Remember, it’s essential to adhere to these rules to maintain a smooth ride on Michigan’s cannabis waters!
