(WXYZ) — Recreational marijuana became legal in December, and it's expected to take about a year before licensed businesses will open up across the state, but more than 100 communities across the area have already notified the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs that they will allow medical marijuana businesses in their area. Every city has the right to opt out of commercial businesses for recreational marijuana.
Default in the medical side is that it is not allowed, and the default from the recreational side is that it is allowed.
Check out the list below of each community in each county that has opted out of selling marijuana. The list will be updated as LARA updates the list. (Counties are bolded)
