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.

Is there a “women against drugged driving” organization? People say it’s better than alcohol... so now that’s a good reason? It’s ruined Colorado. Got the hell lotta there.

Thanks for the data, but it’s a little dated and doesn’t represents trends. Worth keeping an eye on it

so YOU can put pot money in the hands of leftist politicians. At least they don't cut off heads and leave them in the town square.

Tell that to Seth Rich...

I support the legality of alcohol although it is not a health benefit and has dangers. Do you want to ban it? If not, why not?

Alcohol has MANY health benefits.

https://www.medicaldaily.com/7-health-benefits-drinking-alcohol-247552

That's just from drinking it. Not to mention the countless other benefits of products derived from it.

I'll stack alcohol up against pot ANY day for its health benefits. It's no contest. Pot on the other hand MUST rely on heavy propaganda to bolster its few insignificant health benefits.

Thank you NobleFree, and I apologize for misconstruing your earlier posts.

You’re a good man.

I notice you don't dispute that alcohol has dangers. If it's legal only because of health benefits, it should be available by prescription only, right?

presented with the overall impression that unlimited smoking of pot is a health benefit

Again: medically useful is not necessarily "healthy." Nobody would say that the recreational use of chemotherapy drugs was "healthy."

with no dangers associated with it all.

No, that's your functional illiteracy at work.

So what are your proposed regulations on smoking pot?

Unlike you nanny statists, I leave it up to adults to assume for themselves whatever dangers they choose - be they alcohol, or tobacco, or skydiving, or ...

Good reason for what? To legalize, yes - unless you want to argue for a return to alcohol Prohibition.

It’s ruined Colorado.

Nonsense.

Got the hell lotta there.

Could you please repeat that in English?

From your link: "CBD's usefulness as an anti-inflammatory medication is the next most promising, but those results come mostly from animal studies, experts said."

That says to me and every freedom-lover that the matter should be decided between doctors and patients, not by government.

And medical use supported by animal studies is certainly NOT "snake oil." YOU are the propagandist here.

I’m in Michigan and it’s fine by me. Probably less harmful than alcohol,

When both are taken at the same time, innocents die.

“When both are taken at the same time, innocents die.”

I agree, it’s a dangerous combination.

So now we have to have alcohol and dope? Great combination.
Colorado is a sheet hole, sold our house and got the hell outta there. Not nonsense it was right across the street. It used to be a peaceful beautiful neighborhood. Remember the spring fire in 2018 set by the “prospector “ that burned 108,000 acres? That’s the kind of people that have moved out there. Lived it, saw it.

"We" "have" marijuana already, as "we" "had" alcohol even during Prohibition. What we don't have to have is the profits from those markets going to criminal hands, as they do when those markets are made illegal.

In my youth, I've taken both at the same time and nobody died.

And keeping marijuana illegal does more to enrich violent criminals than to reduce use. When violent criminals are enriched, innocents die.

I’m sorry I guess I just don’t understand this obsession of getting high. Give me a fishing rod and I got my high. I can think of thousands and thousands of other things that are a high , drugs are way, way down on my list.. When we had our beautiful house 8500 ft in the mountains after marijuana became legal the people were still buying this crap from unknown sources in order to beat paying tax on it. But that wasn’t good enough, now the big quest was on for some junk called tar. This was told to us by a probation officer friend of ours.

I don't myself use alcohol or any other drug. But many adults choose to, and you and I can't wish that away - or even arrest it away. Alcohol Prohibition did more harm than good, and so does the marijuana ban.

You should get some of the hemp extract pills. CBD without the THC stoner effect.

When I get stressed or have some arm pain - I pulled a muscle or tendon a few years ago - one CBD knocks the blood pressure down ten point and eases the arm pain. No stoning effect at all.

“CBD without the THC stoner effect.”

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. There are just so many options for CBD, I haven’t yet figured out how to determine what’s safe and effective. What did you use?

I just need pain relief. I don’t have a problem with high blood pressure, I’m concerned about low blood pressure. More than a couple of times my BP measured was around 80/60. I seem to be more concerned about that than my doctors.
