Michigan Marijuana Laws

As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law.

Cannabis laws in Michigan follow Michigan’s state law. City-level policy rarely changes cannabis legality; jurisdiction law determines legal risk.

Recreational and medical cannabis are legal for adults 21 and older. Licensed retail sales are permitted. While compliant use carries low risk under state law, cannabis remains illegal under federal law.

Quick facts

  • Recreational: Legal
  • Medical: Legal
  • Possession: Legal within limits
  • Buying/Selling: Legal from licensed retailers
  • Tourists: Permitted for adults 21+

Practical guidance

Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.

Legislative History

Michigan voters legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21+ in 2018 via Proposal 1, permitting possession of up to 2.5 ounces in public (10 ounces at home), home cultivation of up to 12 plants, and licensed retail sales. Medical cannabis was legalized earlier in 2008 through a ballot proposition, establishing a patient registry and caregiver system.
