Michigan’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency Gets A New Name And Bigger Purpose
The Marijuana Regulatory Agency will be renamed the Cannabis Regulatory Agency

The Marijuana Regulatory Agency, which handles the medical and recreational pot industries, will be renamed the Cannabis Regulatory Agency.

The idea is to create a more efficient and robust regulatory agency to oversee the tax-generating sales of hemp and psychoactive marijuana, Whitmer said.
