Those Cultivating or Transporting Marijuana Plants – Certain Things to Know

New legislation that has attempted to clear the smoke that covers the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (aka MMMA) deals with the definition of an “enclosed locked facility.” The bill can be viewed here.

An “enclosedlocked facility” is now defined as “a closet, room or other comparable, stationary, and fully-enclosed area equipped with secured locks or other functioning security devices that permit access only by a” patient or caregiver. 

It also explains that individuals cultivating outside will satisfy the “enclosed locked facility” requirement if the structure is:

anchored, attached, or affixed to the ground; located on land that is owned, leased or rented by patient or caregiver which is equipped with functioning locks or other security device and is enclosed on all sides, except for the ground, by chain-link fence, wire mesh, wooden slats, or similar material preventing access by the public.

The enclosedlocked facility will also be established for moments where an individual is transporting a plant from one location to another within his or her vehicle. However, it should be noted that the intent must be to transport the plant from one location to another permanent location. This is for a temporary setting and should be used accordingly.

It is always imperative to know the changes in law, especially when those changes could make the difference between a criminal charge and just another day. In order to smoke carefree there are certain things you as a patient or caregiver must know. If you have questions, comments or concerns contact Josh Jones today.
