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. Oversight sits with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Michigan stands out as a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.
