Ms. Heather Burnash

Ms. Heather Burnash is listed as a cannabis and marijuana law attorney serving Flint and the surrounding Michigan area. Burnash was admitted to the bar 17 years ago. Burnash also works on cannabis charges that remain prosecutable even in a legal state, such as sales without a license and cultivation over the plant limit, impaired-driving cases, which are contested in legal states because per se THC limits do not track actual impairment and vehicle and traffic offenses arising from the same stop as a drug charge.

Adult use is legal in Michigan and the commercial market is licensed, so questions tend to be about who qualifies for a license, what obligations attach to it, and where local rules override the state framework. Oversight sits with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. It is a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.
