Michigan

Medical use:Legal
Recreational:Yes

Michigan was one of the first states to establish a medical marijuana program, but they took a huge leap in 2018 when they legalized recreational cannabis, too. Michigan residents aged 21 or older are permitted to possess or transport up to 2.5 ounces of weed at a time. They can also grow up to 12 plants, but not in public view, and are allowed to give 2.5 ounces to another person as long as they don’t sell the weed to them directly. It has to be a gift. On the medical side, patients are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 12 plants.
