2024 Cannabis banking in Michigan: Current rules and regulations
Cannabis for both recreational and medical use is legal in Michigan, with the state pioneering significant reforms over the years. Recreational cannabis was legalized in 2018 through the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, winning 56% of the voter support and initiating state-licensed sales by December 2019. This followed the 2008 Michigan Compassionate Care Initiative, which legalized medical cannabis with a 63% vote, allowing patients to possess and cultivate cannabis under specific conditions. The transition from prohibition, which once imposed severe penalties for possession and distribution, to legalization reflects a major shift in public policy and societal attitudes toward cannabis in Michigan.
Before statewide legalization, several Michigan cities took progressive steps by decriminalizing cannabis or deprioritizing its enforcement. Ann Arbor, for example, has been known for its lenient cannabis laws since the 1970s. The legalization movement gained momentum with the establishment of the Michigan Compassionate Care Initiative in 2008, which permitted medical cannabis use for qualifying patients. This was further expanded in 2016 when Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation that allowed medical cannabis dispensaries to operate more openly, introducing a tax on medical cannabis and approving non-smokable forms of the drug.
The successful 2018 ballot initiative marked Michigan as the first Midwest state to legalize recreational cannabis, setting a precedent for the region. The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act enables individuals over the age of 21 to possess and grow cannabis within certain limits and established a regulated market for cannabis cultivation and sales, complete with excise and sales taxes. Fiscal year 2021 saw the state collecting $175 million from recreational cannabis sales taxes, benefiting local municipalities. The recent reforms signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer further facilitate cannabis commerce, especially involving tribal lands, showcasing Michigan’s ongoing commitment to refining its cannabis policies for economic and social benefit.
