Is anyone moving forward with larger grows in Michigan? Not rumors or "hey, Thera-Cann is moving in to take over" -- are any other small growers stepping up? None of the other small growers I know are entering the new game, they are scared off by the regulations, permit costs, and open-door inspections.
I've had a 72 plant legal grow in Michigan for years. It's been a fun hobby and small business, but now we need to figure out the future game of the regulated 500 to 1500 plant grows under Michigan's new laws. I'm on the fence, but probably moving forward if I find an appropriate legally zoned location, and if I really think wholesale prices will stay over $1000 / pound.
I recently attended a seminar put on for the benefit of local government, to help them plan out new ordinances and regulations. This is an area of woods, small towns and villages, mostly conservative people. There were about 100 people there, 98 local government representatives and 2 growers. There was a HUGE amount of uncertainty and confusion about how townships should proceed with regulations. The local government people were happy to talk to me, and curious about how my end of the business worked. For the most part they could tolerate the grows, processors, and laboratories, but few townships wanted to see more retail storefronts.
The disarray, lack of preparation, and lack of clear direction and purpose was very evident. It seemed unlikely that most of these local governments will be ready with regulations and zoning by this December.
Anyway, that's what it looks like up north. What have you found?
