Governor Snyder has shifted all power of the Michigan Department of Community Health’s Medical Marijuana Program to a newly organized Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. This is part of an overall restructuring of departments within the state and it is not certain what if any impact it will have on the State’s Medical Marijuana Program. We hope this move will free up necessary resources to better fund the program, expedite the card issue process and other administrative shortcomings the department has had to date.
