Michigan’s medical marijuana dispensaries will no longer be able to buy and sell untested cannabis products from caregivers.
The new rules are actually old rules that the state’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency says it will now enforce. That's following a court ruling earlier this week.
The ruling allowed dozens of unlicensed provisioning centers to remain open. But the ruling also allows the state to move forward with rules requiring the centers to get their marijuana products only from licensed growers or processors.
Andrew Brisbo is the executive director of the Marijuana Regulatory Agency.
“In particular we want to make sure licensed provisioning centers knew there was no longer an allowance to bring in caregiver products in directly.”
Centers will be allowed to dispense marijuana products they purchased from caregivers before April 30th, but only with patient consent.
