Michigan Regulators Tell Marijuana Shops To Stop Using Dispensary Label
The reminder was issued to licensed cannabis retailers on Wednesday

The reminder issued to licensed cannabis retailers on Wednesday was first issued in a 2019 bulletin, but was repeated this week amid continued use of the term “dispensary,” said David Harns, a spokesman for the Cannabis Regulatory Agency.
