Workshop on Michigan Medical Marihuana Act

Join us for the Medical Marihuana Act & You Community Workshop on February 10, in Wyoming! The Medical Marihuana Act has been in effect for over two years, yet there are still many unanswered questions. How and where is medical marijuana dispensed? What are the implications for a municipality as an employer? On average, the state Department of Community Health is receiving 71 medical marijuana patient applications a day. What does that mean for your community? Do you understand what the Act entails?

This workshop will include an Overview of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act 2 Years Later and a large panel of experienced speakers with plenty of time for Q & A.
