Recreational marijuana sales begin Dec. 1 in Michigan

NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJMN) — Michigan marijuana businesses now have a date when legal sales of recreational marijuana will start.

According to The Michigan Regulatory Agency, recreational marijuana businesses can begin selling their products on Dec. 1.

However, some businesses may not be ready by then.

“As for us, we have gotten in our recreational license, however, it does not mean we’ll be ready on the first we’re still waiting to hear back from LARA, so when they process our paperwork we’ll know more, ” says Logan Stauber, owner of The Fire Station Provisioning Center.

The Michigan Regulatory Agency says current medical marijuana businesses can transfer up to half of their inventory to the recreational market, as long as the product has been in the facility’s inventory for at least 30 days.

” For the state of Michigan it’s huge, it’s a wonderful opportunity. And really the faster they get the store selling recreational marijuana the faster that they can collect tax revenue and alleviate the black market,” continues Stauber.

You’re not particularly convincing. All those caps don’t help, by the way. You make claims but have not backed them up.

I'm not trying to convince you. If you're advocating for smoking dope you're a lost cause. As I said I'm simply providing balance so some 10 year old doesn't read your post and ends up believing that it's healthy to smoke pot for the rest of their lives.

“I don’t want to get in some sort of registry and risk the feds deciding someday they’re going to enforce the federal law (think Jeff Sessions).

Right now if you use marijuana you can't legally buy a gun.

That may change as society gets more permissive. Can't wait for every dope-head to have a gun and ready to defend their right to defecate on the street.

The left wants SMOKED marijuana.

Which is what the National Academies means by "cannabis."

You listed some things that MAY be helpful in a medical sense

False - "conclusive or substantial evidence" is much more than "may."

for each one of those there are MUCH more effective drugs available

Medicine is not a one-size-fits-all area - which is why for may medical conditions there are multiple medications.

which is WHY pharmaceuticals don't really focus on this garbage.

No, pharma doesn't focus on cannabis because it's not patentable.

And yet here we are, every day, having to read about how healthy it is to smoke pot. Keep up the propaganda.

Wrong yet again - medically useful is not necessarily "healthy." Nobody would say that the recreational use of chemotherapy drugs was "healthy."

Because that would put only the smallest of dents in cartel pot profits. Many people aren’t in a position to grow their own, or simply want to get their product ready-to-use.

Not unlike raising your own cattle to have a hamburger.

LOL! Nicely put.

You're failing - unsupported claims have no weight so provide no balance.

“Are you addicted to opioids?”

Shame on you for even asking that question. You’re an ass.

Smoked pot good for relieving pain!!!! What a miracle. You know what's more effective?? Whiskey!

Smoked pot good for increasing appetite! Wow. You know what's better then that? Healthy eating and exercise!

The "health" benefits here are absolutely laughable and absurdly oversold. The propaganda you're spewing is ONLY there BECAUSE the left wants legal pot so they can get America stoned. When enough people are stoned they're more easily influenced and more docile.

MORE propaganda. With this argument just ONE anecdotal story about smoking pot helping anything is (to the left) a justification for letting everyone smoke pot.

I have linked medical facts, you have bluster. I win. The door is that way - here's a bucket for your teeth.

Bronner’s catalog is going to reflect a number of changes next year.

Nice little farm you have here. It would be a shame if something happened to it. - Tom

“Are you addicted to opioids?” Shame on you for even asking that question. You’re an ass.

Why? You just your doctor refused to prescribe any more tramadol...an opioid. You're looking for alternatives. It's a legitimate question. IF you ARE addicted you should check into a program. Smoking pot is going to be ineffective and I can almost guarantee you'll end up od'ing on heroin or fentanyl one day. You need to get help and not get sucked into the idea that smoking pot is medicine.

Your every post is stupider than your last. Rest assured you're convincing nobody of anything.

you: Shame on you for even asking that question. You’re an ass.

You linked "facts" devoid of any context or balance and presented with the overall impression that unlimited smoking of pot is a health benefit with no dangers associated with it all.

Heh. You remain unconvincing and are clearly uninformed. I told you this would happen if we got into it.

You’re entitled to your opinions, but are not at all influential. Goodbye and good luck.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm trying to wake them up to the fact that they're being fed a bunch of a propaganda. Once they understand that they're being duped I trust that they'll actually research it themselves.

“Support your assertions with evidence - the pro pot side has been winning because they have been able to do that.”

According to polls young people are increasingly supportive of legalizing recreational drugs, prostitution, and socialism. That’s because they have been taught by an improved educational system - and because young people themselves are so smart.
