Michigan’s Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) has indicated that failure to cease operations will impede the applicant’s ability to obtain a medical marijuana license, and the matter will be referred to law enforcement. Michigan has also extended the temporary Michigan medical marijuana rules until December 15, 2018, which will allow other applicants that are still awaiting formal approval to remain in business. Applicants that submitted an application prior to February 18, 2018 and the facility license application before June 1, 2018, or approved applicants that are waiting for a license, will be able to continue operations through December 15, 2018. Without the extension, these medical marijuana facilities would be forced to shut their doors.
