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.
Law Enforcement
Grand Ledge police had a reputation for going after younger smokers, so a friend’s house felt like the quieter option. Michigan has since changed its adult-use rules, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
