Brian F. Garmo

Brian F. Garmo is a Michigan attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Troy. Garmo studied law at Wayne State University Law School. Related work listed for Garmo covers charges that survive legalization, including possession above the personal limit, unlicensed sale and cultivation beyond the permitted plant count, driving-under-the-influence charges involving cannabis rather than alcohol and the corporate side of cannabis, including formation, ownership changes and commercial contracts.

In Michigan, adults may lawfully possess cannabis and licensed businesses may sell it, which moves most of the legal work out of the courtroom and into licensing, land use and compliance, without removing criminal risk entirely. The Cannabis Regulatory Agency administers the state program. It is a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.
