Anyone that is a registered qualifying patient or registered caregiver with the State of Michigan operating under the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) will certainly not be impacted by the new MMFLA. The same civil liberties, benefits, immunities and protections available under the MMMA will certainly still apply to patients and also caregivers that are complying with the policies. Consequently, a patient or caregiver might continue to grow medical marijuana, as long as it is done within the boundaries established by the MMMA, without any extra policies, restrictions or policies.

The Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA) does not interfere with, adjustment, or change, whatsoever, the MMMA. The MMFLA creates the capacity for persons to obtain licenses to operate businesses in the medical marijuana industry. Such services will certainly permit higher access to registered patients and caregivers to acquire medical marijuana on their own and their patients.

Those greater access opportunities for acquiring medical marijuana for patients and also caregivers will certainly come from the capability to buy secure, checked as well as quality medical marijuana, both leaf, edible as well as in other processed kinds, from licensed provisioning centers (what were formerly and typically referred to as dispensaries). Patients will certainly be permitted to acquire up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana from a licensed provisioning center. Primary caregivers will have the ability to help their patients with obtaining as well as using medical marijuana. Nonetheless, under the MMFLA, a registered caregiver who is not able to generate sufficient usable marijuana for a patient from their own cultivation will have the ability to acquire medical marijuana for their registered patient at a licensed provisioning center.

The bottom line for caregivers: you will certainly not be impacted by the requirements of the MMFLA and also you might continue to operate with the very same policies, regulations and limitations placed upon your patients and you as set forth in the MMMA. Should you have any type of concerns, please give us a call so we can set up a consultation as well as discuss your scenario.
