(7) A marihuana microbusiness license is subject to all applicable provisions in the Michigan
regulation and taxation of marihuana act MRTMA and these rules related to a marihuana
grower, marihuana retailer, and marihuana processor license except for R 420.102(8).
(8) A marihuana microbusiness may not purchase or accept a mature plant from an
individual, registered qualifying patient, or registered primary caregiver.
R 420.105a Class A marihuana microbusiness license.
Rule 5a. (1) A class A marihuana microbusiness license authorizes the class A marihuana
microbusiness to do all of the following:
(a) Cultivate not more than 300 plants. Only mature marihuana plants are included in
the plant count in this subdivision.
(b) Package marihuana.
(c) Purchase marihuana concentrate and marihuana-infused products from a licensed
marihuana processor.
(d) Sell or transfer marihuana and marihuana products to an individual 21 years of age
or older only.
(e) Transfer marihuana to a marihuana safety compliance facility for testing.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in R 420.304, this rule, and the MRTMA, a class A
marihuana microbusiness license authorizes a class A marihuana microbusiness to transfer
marihuana from the marihuana grower area to the marihuana retailer area of the class A
marihuana microbusiness without using a marihuana secure transporter if all areas of the
class A marihuana microbusiness enter each transfer between different areas of the class A
marihuana microbusiness into the statewide monitoring system.
(3) A class A marihuana microbusiness shall not operate at multiple locations.
(4) A class A marihuana microbusiness shall accurately enter all transactions, current
inventory, and other information into the statewide monitoring system as required in these
rules.
Commented [TC3]: Why would we treat them differently?
Why should they not be allowed to transfer genetics like any
other kind of licensed grower?
Commented [TC4]: Can microbusinesses send material for
processing to a processor?
For say a tolling agreement.
This seems inappropriate – why limit their ability to utilize
the byproducts of cultivation like all other growers?
(5) A class A marihuana microbusiness may purchase or accept the transfer of marihuana
seeds, tissue cultures, clones, or marihuana plants at any time from another grower
licensed under the acts, these rules, or both. A class A marihuana microbusiness shall not
sell or transfer marihuana seeds, tissue cultures, or clones received under this subrule.
(6) A class A marihuana microbusiness shall not purchase or receive marihuana from a
licensed marihuana processor.
(7) A class A marihuana microbusiness license is subject to all applicable provisions in the
MRTMA and these rules related to a marihuana grower and marihuana retailer license
except for R 420.102(8).
Also – this seems to conflict with the new section c of this
part. They can purchase marijuana concentrate and infused
products – but they cannot trade biomass for those materials?
Can a Class A Microbusiness also process materials? If not
– tolling for them should be allowed.
Commented [TC5]: This should only be plants coming
from licensed operators.
This should only apply otherwise to the first set of plants
coming from their own caregiver operations.
(8) A class A marihuana microbusiness may purchase or accept a mature plant from an
individual, registered qualifying patient, or registered primary caregiver.
The same justification for not allowing this to happen with
all other types of growers should apply here.
A first time single transfer – and then after that no more
mature plants.
R 420.106 Marihuana secure transporter license.
Rule 6. (1) A marihuana secure transporter license authorizes the licensee to store and transport
marihuana and money associated with the purchase or sale of marihuana between marihuana
establishments for a fee upon request of a person with legal custody of that marihuana or money.
It does not authorize transport to a registered qualifying patient or registered primary caregiver.
We don’t know anything about those mature plants. How
they were grown, what was sprayed on them, or where they
came from.
Bringing black market plants into the legal market seems
inappropriate.
