This means that Michigan residents, 21 years and older, are able to possess, transport, use, and even grow marijuana. As a bordering state to Indiana, many Hoosiers want to know if they can visit Michigan, purchase marijuana products, and then bring them home to Indiana for personal use. This is a very relevant and predictable inquiry, as marijuana laws are constantly changing around the country, every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan Residents <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Before Michigan enacted their marijuana legalization laws, possession of marijuana was a misdemeanor crime, punishable by 1 year in jail and $2000 in fines. Trafficking and cultivation rendered even more serious penalties. But in late 2018, Michigan inducted the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act (MRTMA) after their ballot to legalize recreational and medical marijuana was approved by voters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Michigan state law now permits the consumption and\npossession of recreational and medical marijuana. But keep in mind that even\nthough it is legal under state law, it is still illegal under Federal law\nthroughout the entire country by way of the Controlled Substance Act. For\nMichigan residents, this means that, at any time, the state laws regarding marijuana\ncan be overturned by Federal legislation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Residents<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Here in Indiana, marijuana is illegal across the board. And there is no talk of legalizing it anytime soon. So if you decide to visit Michigan and purchase marijuana, you CANNOT bring it back across Indiana borders. If you do, and you are caught by law enforcement, you will be prosecuted according to Indiana\u2019s drug schedule. Read our blog, \u201cAn Introduction to Indiana Drug Schedules<\/a>\u201d to learn what this could mean in terms of penalties and repercussions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
