Marijuana will be legal in Michigan in 10 days.

The Board of State Canvassers certified the results of the Nov. 6 election with a unanimous vote at its meeting Monday, Nov. 26.

Among the results: Proposal 1, the marijuana legalization initiative, passed with 56 percent of Michigan voters saying "yes."

Under state law, Proposal 1 takes effect as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act 10 calendar days after the election results have been certified.

That means Thursday, Dec. 6, is legalization day in Michigan, said David Harns, spokesman for Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

On Dec. 6, adults over the age of 21 can possess marijuana in public and can consume marijuana in the privacy of their homes.

Driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal and remains illegal on Dec. 6.

The state has one year to develop rules for a commercial marijuana industry in the state, and has to accept the first business license applications in December 2019.

Some Michigan prosecutors have been dismissing low-level marijuana cases since the results of the Nov. 6 election, though the law has yet to take effect. A number of Michigan communities are also choosing to ban marijuana businesses until the state develop regulations.
