MMMA Caregivers and the MMFLA: What, If Anything, Has Changed?

Anybody who is a registered qualifying patient or registered caregiver with the State of Michigan running under the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) will not be impacted by the new MMFLA. The same legal rights, advantages, immunities and also protections available under the MMMA will certainly still apply to patients as well as caregivers who are adhering to the policies. As a result, a patient or caregiver might continue to grow medical marijuana, so long as it is done within the boundaries established by the MMMA, without any added policies, restrictions or policies.

The Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA) does not conflict with, change, or modify, by any means, the MMMA. The MMFLA creates the capability for individuals to acquire licenses to operate organisations in the medical cannabis sector. Such services will certainly allow for better access to registered patients as well as caregivers to get medical cannabis for themselves and their patients.

Those greater access possibilities for obtaining medical cannabis for patients and caregivers will certainly come from the capability to buy risk-free, tested and quality medical marijuana, both leaf, edible as well as in various other processed forms, from licensed provisioning centers (what were previously as well as generally known as dispensaries). Patients will be allowed to acquire up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana from a licensed provisioning center. Primary caregivers will have the ability to aid their patients with obtaining as well as making use of medical marijuana. However, under the MMFLA, a registered caregiver that is unable to create sufficient usable cannabis for a patient from their very own growing will certainly have the ability to purchase medical cannabis for their registered patient at a licensed provisioning center.

The bottom line for caregivers: you will certainly not be affected by the requirements of the MMFLA and also you might continue to operate with the exact same guidelines, laws and also limitations positioned upon your patients as well as you as stated in the MMMA.
