MICHIGAN—From border-town bans to delivery vans, it’s been another wild week in Michigan weed. Regulators want budtenders to start snitching, voters are tapping the brakes on new dispensaries, a cannabis giant is trying to duck a multimillion-dollar payout, and more.

Here’s your weekly stash of Michigan cannabis news:

SNITCH SWITCH: Michigan regulators reportedly want dispensaries to report customers who buy more than the legal possession limit. But here’s the kicker: Stores can still sell it to them. State regulators’ vague new memo on the issue has left retailers frustrated and confused.

BORDER BACKLASH: Voters in Menominee, as well as Niles and Lima townships, passed measures to limit the number of dispensaries in their neighborhoods following years of explosive growth—especially near state lines, where out-of-staters have fueled Michigan’s green rush.

LEGAL HAZE: Cannabis giant Curaleaf is still reportedly fighting a $32 million judgment owed to Michigan grower Hello Farms. The company’s latest move? Arguing that its own contract shouldn’t count because weed is still federally illegal. A federal judge called that “hypocrisy and illegal gamesmanship,” but the appeal is still dragging on as Curaleaf tries to dodge the bill.

DOOBDASH: M66 Cannabis Co. in Barryton announced a new delivery service, bringing weed straight to local doorsteps within 20 miles of its shop. Orders run Thursday through Saturday.

BAKED & UNBOTHERED: Muha Meds threw a flashy launch party with Cookies to debut their new “Cookie Vape” in Detroit. But the Metro Times write-up somehow skipped the elephant in the room: Muha Meds is still under fire from state regulators over a range of alleged issues.
