Adults 21 and older may buy 2.5 ounces per transaction, of which no more than 15 grams may be concentrate. Adults can keep 10 ounces at home. See our Michigan marijuana laws guide.
- Ferris State campus: The university says state legalization does not change its policy. Use and possession are prohibited on any university-owned or leased property and during university business or events, including for medical patients, because the school must follow federal law as a recipient of federal aid.
- Public use and driving: Parks, sidewalks and parking lots are public places, and driving under the influence of marijuana is a crime.
