More about the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act

Initially passed in 2016, this act provides a clear regulatory structure to license and regulate marijuana establishments, prescribing fines, sanctions, and remedies to non-compliant entities. By following these guidelines, businesses can assure customers that their products are safe, legal, and of high quality. This is particularly important considering the medical use of marijuana-infused products, commonly known as "edibles," which need to be produced under stringent safety and quality controls (source: mml.org).

A key component of the act is the requirement for a safety compliance facility license. Safety compliance facilities play an important role in the supply chain as they are licensed to receive marijuana and ensure consumer safety as they maintain the integrity of the product from cultivation to sale, ensuring that it meets the state's safety standards.

The act also restricts licensed marijuana secure transporters or prospective licensees from having interests in marijuana growers, provisioning centers, processors, which helps avoid conflicts of interest and ensures a fair and unbiased distribution process. This ultimately benefits the customer by ensuring a diverse market and competitive pricing.
