Could you provide clarification on excess marijuana grower licenses?

To be issued an excess marijuana grower license, you must:

• Hold five marijuana grower class C licenses under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA)

AND

• Hold at least two grower class C licenses under the Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA).

The number of MMFLA grower class C licenses held determines the number of Excess marijuana plants allowed. Based on the medical marijuana plant count, a licensee is allowed to grow in increments of 2,000 plants under the excess marijuana grower license, up to what is allowed on the medical side.

Examples:

If a licensee had five grower class C licenses under the MRTMA and had:

• Two class C grower licenses under the MMFLA (growing up to 3,000 medical marijuana plants)
  • Under the excess marijuana grower license, a licensee can grow in increments of 2,000 plants – up to what is allowed on the medical side.
  • In this example, the licensee would be authorized to grow 2,000 marijuana plants under the excess marijuana grower license.
  • The 2,000 plants authorized to be grown under the excess marijuana grower license would be in addition to the 10,000 plants authorized to be grown under the five grower class C licenses issued under the MRTMA.
• Three class C grower licenses under the MMFLA (growing up to 4,500 medical marijuana plants)
  • Under the excess marijuana grower license, a licensee can grow in increments of 2,000 plants – up to what is allowed on the medical side.
  • In this example, the licensee would be authorized to grow 4,000 marijuana plants under the excess marijuana grower license.
  • The 4,000 plants authorized to be grown under the excess marijuana grower license would be in addition to the 10,000 plants authorized to be grown under the five grower class C licenses issued under the MRTMA.
