Study Takes Aim at Home-Grown Marijuana Market
Much of Michigan’s marijuana industry is outside mainstream retail outlets. The Michigan Cannabis Manufacturers Association commissioned a study says that millions in taxes and fees could be captured from illicit marijuana markets. While there is no current legislation concerning home cultivation, the information from the study will be used to inform legislators in Lansing. It’s speculated that the MCMA may seek to change the state law passed in 2018 in order to upend the home cultivation rules. The interest is in bulking up the legal retail market and tax revenue.
