October 31, 2018 Deadline for Caregivers and The Changing Marihuana Dynamic in Michigan

Caregivers and the DoDo Cannabis and extinct birds would seemingly never show up in any conversation. However, in speaking with our cannabis clients, a lot of them are inquiring about the feasibility of the Caregiver model, specifically as it was pushed for years. What many in the industry have actually described as the "Caregiver Model" is going the way of the Do-Do bird on October 31, 2018. Halloween this year will certainly be the extinction event for the caregiver model as several have actually known it for several years here in Michigan. While Caregivers will continue to be able to grow and sell to their registered patients, and for themselves, if they are also registered qualifying patients, the "gray market" where they were marketing their overages, and making a fairly good profit, is coming to an end.

Preliminary Thoughts: There are a great deal of mistaken beliefs about child support held by people who do not manage family law concerns. Initially, the concept that just dads pay child support is not true, at the very least, not under the guidelines in Michigan, and also in lots of other states.

The law is due to go into effect in December, so those neighborhoods will need to act quickly if they wish to utilize their opt-out to block the sale of recreational cannabis in their location. So how can these neighborhoods select to opt out of a law like this? The current opt-out system implies that if they wish to avoid the sale of recreational marijuana, they need to pass an ordinance or encourage citizens to authorize a ballot saying that the neighborhood does not want to take part. The treatments surrounding such ballots and when they need to occur or when they can take place is really dirty to say the least. Some think that they can't ta...
