(Lansing, MI) – Officials with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office say the state’s new, 24-percent wholesale tax on marijuana is constitutional. A filing in the Court of Claims says the tax created in the Comprehensive Road Funding Tax Act does not amend the voter-initiated law that legalized marijuana but “seeks to generate revenues for road funding by imposing a 25-percent excise tax on marijuana wholesale transactions.”
The AG’s office also says the state is immune from two lawsuits filed by cannabis groups after the Fiscal Year 2026 state budget was passed with the new tax.
