Michigan Cannabis Regulations

State Cannabis Overview: The Cannabis industry in Michigan has experienced significant growth and development since the state legalized the recreational use of marijuana in November 2018. Michigan became the tenth state in the United States to legalize recreational cannabis, joining a growing number of states that have embraced the industry. With a population of around 10 million people, Michigan presents a substantial market for cannabis businesses.

Licensing: Michigan uses a three-step Cannabis licensing method that starts from application to initial licensure to renewal. The application step requires you to pay a non-refundable fee of $3,000 to qualify for a license. Once the application is approved, you must pay an initial licensure fee that can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $24,000, depending on the kind of business you have.

Below is a list of Cannabis businesses in Michigan:

  • Marijuana Growers (Cass A, B, C, and excess grower)
  • Marijuana Processor
  • Marijuana Transporter
  • Marijuana Safety Compliance Facility
  • Marijuana Event Organizer
  • Designated Marijuana Consumption Establishment
  • Marijuana Educational Research Facility
  • Marijuana Retailer (Dispensary)
  • Marijuana Microbusiness

All three steps can take you up to 200 days (or 300 days in some instances). 

Local Authority: Local governments in Michigan can ban, restrict, and regulate the use or sale of Marijuana within their territories. They also have the right to issue licenses, dictate zoning restrictions, and tax Cannabis sales. You must understand the impact of local governments in your search for Cannabis real estate, as the consequences in some municipalities can be grave.

Let’s be your partner in navigating this intricate industry. We will help you locate Cannabis real estate properties that are profitable, business-friendly, and compliant with both state and local regulations. Reach out to us to find high-yielding real estate property in MI.
