Here are the bills Snyder signed:
  • House Bill 4209, now Public Act 281, creates the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act to license and regulate the growth, processing, transport and provisioning of medical marijuana. The House approved it 83-22.
  • House Bill 4210, now Public Act 282, amends the voter-initiated Michigan Medical Marihuana Act to allow for the manufacture and use of marijuana-infused products by qualified patients. The House approved it 93-12.
  • House Bill 4827, now Public Act 283, creates the Marihuana Tracking Act and a seed-to-sale tracking system to track all medical marijuana. The House approved it 85-20.

I can feel the eyes upon me
If a patient or caregiver isn't concerned now, then they certainly may be down-the-road since the budget for (new) compliance enforcement just skyrocketed.

TAX REVENUE
Legislative economists have not estimated how much in tax revenue may be generated. The money would be split as follows: 30 percent to the state; 30 percent to counties with a marijuana facility; 25 percent to cities or townships with a facility; 5 percent to the Michigan State Police; 5 percent to county sheriffs; and 5 percent for a law enforcement standards commission. The state’s share initially would go to the general fund. Starting in October 2018, it would be deposited into a fund to cover workers’ compensation benefits for firefighters with certain types of cancer.

So when they mean the 500 plant license, is that the minimum? As a caregiver will I be able to keep my 60 plants or is that system is what's being replaced w the 500 minimum one...hope that makes sense?

This is all about greed and control and nothing more. They could care less about sick people or safety and have proven this for years by forcing sick people to smoke and not have access to concentrates and edibles. They talk about stopping the black market but by only allowing the rich to participate in the system they are only strengthening the black market. But they have that covered too with their for profit jail and prison system. I predicted that penalties will increase and it looks like that will happen also, they can't miss a opportunity to make a buck even if they have to lock people up and seize their property.

All.i know is the new rules helps the black market. Risk and consequences aside. Prices will go up in dispensaries. This in turn will create more demand on the street...where its always cheaper. How long this will be....is anyones guess. But for the next few years or so....dispensary stuff will be pricey. Basically they laid out the rules (i.e. Money) for dispensaries and dispensary growers. The 5 patient plus yourself card thingy remains the same. Its all bullshit. We know this. But with every new rule and regulation short of full on nationwide legalization....creates pockets of supply and demand here and there.

I'll never have a store front the internet is way too big and people are to judgmental of people like us. I praise the guy that sticks his chest out and says F you to the system but at the same time I don't wanna be that drug dealer in a small community. Hopefully after the election things will continue to get better

I heard in Colorado that whole "top shelf" model of pricing structure is being phased out already. There already passed that....and bud prices overall are very inexpensive compared to just last year.

Michigans market will be different. We dont exactly have an outdoor enviorment condusive to cannabis year round in most of the state. Colorado prices, reflect a large portion of sun grown greenhouse cannabis. Indoor top shelf, is still indoor top shelf and fetching prices above 2k a pound in a recreational market.

I think that these new laws and regulated markets will fall flat on its face in most areas around Michigan. Sure it's will prob be profitable in the bigger city's but with all the regulation the little guy will not want 300+ an ounce meds.The only way I see this working statewide is if the state legalizes.
Make no mistake, this is the framework for legal cannabis. They have come right and said so. So unless milegalize gets on the ballot in 2018, this is what we will have.
