Recreational marijuana will become legal on the books in Michigan starting Dec. 6, according to an official with the Secretary of State office.
Fred Woodhams with the Secretary of State office in Lansing tells 13 ON YOUR SIDE, the State Board of Canvassers will meet Monday, Nov. 26 and the new law will officially take effect Dec. 6.
The law takes ten days after the election results are certified. But marijuana won’t be commercially available for sale until probably early 2020.
The Detroit Free Press reports this in part because the state must still put regulations in place and issue licenses for recreational sales.
