Marijuana Business Magazine - February 2018

Massachusetts The state took another step toward a legalized recreational marijuana industry. The Cannabis Con- trol Commission approved a wide-ranging set of draft regulations, though the rules are not final. The rules are subject to public hearings, and some revisions are possible before the business licensing process begins. Regulators face a July 1 deadline for the launch of adult- use sales. Michigan Opponents of recreational marijuana legalization have formed two resistance campaigns to a ballot measure likely to go before state voters this year. The pro-mar- ijuana campaign submitted signatures in November to make the 2018 ballot. Two notable opponents already are waiting in the wings. Healthy and Productive Michi- gan, an anti-MJ coalition, announced its formation in late 2017. The Committee to Keep Pot Out of Neighbor- hoods and Schools was founded last May.
