The bill amends the "Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act" by updating sections 5 and 15 to clarify the legal status of marihuana possession, use, and related activities for individuals aged 21 and older. Key changes include the specification that individuals can possess, use, and process up to 2.5 ounces of marihuana, with a limit of 15 grams in concentrate form. Additionally, it allows for the possession of up to 10 ounces of marihuana at home and the cultivation of up to 12 plants, while also detailing the legal implications for assisting others in these activities. The bill also emphasizes that the use and distribution of marihuana accessories are lawful under the same age restrictions.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the penalties for violations of marihuana laws, specifying that individuals who exceed the allowed amounts may face civil infractions or misdemeanors, depending on the severity of the violation. Notably, the language has been updated to clarify the age of individuals involved in these activities and the fines associated with infractions. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5105.
