Norman H. Beitner

Norman H. Beitner is a Michigan attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Detroit. Admitted 45 years ago, Beitner studied law at University of Michigan Law School. The listing also shows work in the corporate side of cannabis, including formation, ownership changes and commercial contracts, possession and distribution charges that still apply outside the licensing system and health care regulation, including the certification rules in the state medical program.

Michigan regulates both adult-use and medical cannabis, so legal work in the state runs from licensing and local approvals through packaging, advertising and seed-to-sale tracking rules, alongside the criminal matters that still arise around unlicensed activity and possession above the legal limit. Oversight sits with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Michigan is a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.
