Royal Oak, MI Allows Recreational Cannabis

July 30, 2020

Overview

On Monday, July 27, 2020, the Royal Oak City Commission approved an ordinance allowing adult-use cannabis sales in the city. This ordinance will take effect on August 15. Adult-use businesses are not permitted within 1,000 feet of any school or any other cannabis retailer or microbusiness.

Royal Oak has not yet finalized the adult-use application process. City offices have been closed due to the pandemic and employees will be moving locations in late August, so it may be some time before the application process is available. Once the application opens, the city expects to be able to review applications and proposed sites within 90 days.

If you need help in applying for adult-use operations or finding a location for your marijuana facility, contact John Mackewich at 419-249-7103 or at mackewich@marshall-melhorn.com.
