Michigan marijuana sales reached a record-breaking high in December, according to state data. While medical cannabis purchases have gradually decreased, the adult-use market has more than compensated for the drop, with total sales reaching an impressive $221.7 million – a staggering $9 million more than the previous record set in September.
The Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) reported that December saw $208,318,037 in recreational cannabis sales and $13,419,377 from medical marijuana purchases, as first reported by New Cannabis Ventures. This remarkable surge in sales is indicative of the growing popularity of marijuana in Michigan and the potential of the industry to become a major economic driver in the state. With the legalization of recreational marijuana, Michigan is now one of the largest markets in the United States, and the industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.

One thing is clear: Michigan marijuana regulators intend to increase enforcement to eradicate black-market marijuana making its way to the licensed commercial market and the new Michigan marijuana director hints at plans to go after black market marijuana
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s placement of Brian Hanna, a former Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) inspector and Michigan state police analyst, as the agency’s “acting” director, hints at a new, stricter approach by the agency.
Hanna confirmed that during a meeting with members of the media at a roundtable in Lansing on Tuesday, Oct. 25, although he was at times vague.
“I can’t talk about open investigations,” Hanna said when asked about the size of the illicit market that’s infiltrating the licensed industry and for examples. “I would say, stay tuned.”

The validity of results issued by marijuana safety labs in Michigan and across the nation have been called into question. There are allegations of labs intentionally issuing higher THC potency test results — which makes the marijuana more valuable to retailers — and passing product that should have failed for reasons, such as, over-limit amounts of yeast and mold or the presence of potentially dangerous pathogens. like aspergillus.
Marijuana producers are the labs’ customers, so issuing low THC results or failing product may result in the loss of revenue for the lab.
The CRA is currently tied up in litigation with one of the state’s largest lab operators, Viridis Laboratories, which is founded by former state police and operates locations in Bay City and Lansing.
The CRA on Nov. 17, 2021, issued a recall on any product tested by Viridis. A state Court of Claims judge subsequently overturned a large portion of the recall that Viridis CEO Greg Michaud called “baseless, meritless and totally detached from science, facts and data.”
Public complaints issued against Viridis by the CRA called into question the validity of Viridis THC tests results and accused the lab of using testing techniques that have never been approved by the CRA.
When asked how the lab is allowed to use unapproved tests, Hanna said: “It’s a good question. We have pending litigation, so we can’t comment on pending litigation that’s in process right now. We’re aware of the concerns.”

A marijuana recall will proceed in part after a judge denied a testing company’s request for a preliminary injunction for a recall of products tested by one of its labs, but allowed it for the other.
The split decision from Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray came Friday after Murray heard more than six hours of testimony Wednesday and Thursday.
Viridis Laboratories, which said the recall affected about 60 to 70 percent of the state’s cannabis products, sued the MRA saying the state was “unjustified, prejudiced and retaliatory.”
A lot of them have lost a lot of money and they’re angry.”
Murray’s opinion Friday said the regulatory agency relied on retesting of product tested at Viridis, which is located in Lansing, but not Viridis North, which is located in Bay City.
“Yet, the recall bulletin expressly states in the first sentence that the MRA ‘has identified inaccurate and/or unreliable results of products tested by safety compliance facilities Viridis North, LLC and Viridis Laboratories, LLC.'” Murray wrote. “As to Viridis North, that does not appear to be accurate, as everyone has agreed that no samples from Veridis (sic) North were included in the random samples re-tested prior to the recall, and which in part led to the recall.”
The Judge blocked the state’s recall as it pertains to Viridis North but allowed it to continue for Viridis as further litigation continues.
The judge acknowledged the Marijuana Regulatory Agency “undoubtedly” believes the recall of both Viridis and Viridis North was necessary to protect the public.
The company applauded the decision in a statement, saying it struck down “approximately half” of the state’s recall.
“While we maintain that the entire recall was completely without merit, we applaud the Court for at least reversing the MRA’s faulty decision to recall products tested at Viridis Bay City,” said Kevin Blair, an attorney with Honigman. “This ill-advised recall has caused irreparable harm not only to Viridis but to growers, retailers and consumers throughout the state.”
After spending his career helping prosecute people for marijuana Greg Michaud now cares how safe the marijuana is to his next generation of client$.
The laboratories claim the recall affected 64,000 pounds of flower valued at retail prices at over $229 million
The state had “immediately implemented actions to comply with the court’s order,” said David Harns, spokesman for the Marijuana Regulatory Agency.
“Public safety concerns are one of the main purposes and duties of the MRA, and undoubtedly it believes the recall of both Viridis and Viridis North was necessary to protect the public,” Murray said in his 13-page opinion and order.
“Due to the ongoing litigation and investigations, we will not be able to comment further beyond what is published on our website,” Harns said.
It’s been said that 18 people complained of “mild allergic reactions” and other health concerns, up to hospitalization, after consuming recalled marijuana from Michigan, a state licensing officials testified last week.
