New State Pot Bureau Ready to Regulate and Collect $$$
Bureau of Medical Marihuana (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) Regulation should be one stop shop
The State of Michigan announced this week the establishment of the Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation. The new organization, under the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Department, is responsible for enforcement of laws governing the medical marijuana industry.
It will also collect application and regulatory assessment fees and a 3-percent gross sales tax.
