Michigan Cannabis Business Licensing Deadline

September 15, 2018

The Medical Marihuana Licensing Board’s September 15th deadline for unlicensed provisioning centers to close is approaching fast.

Only about 16 licenses out of a reported 637 applications have been approved.

There are approximately over 200 provisioning centers operating temporarily under state emergency rules. Most will have to shut down on the deadline date.

“The implementation is insufficient,” says attorney Josh Colton of  the Komorn Law firm. “Patients need safe access to their medicine. Extending the deadline from June to September was for this purpose. To all of a sudden shut this down is going to leave quite a few people scrambling.”

“Even though I think [MMLB] are doing everything they possibly can, even if they are successful in getting 20 more facilities licensed, it is simply not enough to take care of the patient base,” says Colton.

“I have many cannabis business clients looking for answers” said attorney Michael Komorn who has experience and is recognized as an expert in Michigan Medical Marijuana laws.
