LANSING — Problems tracking marijuana through Michigan’s regulated supply chain topped the Cannabis Regulatory Agency’s latest list of disciplinary actions. The agency imposed fines in 21 enforcement cases dated August, citing violations involving sales, waste disposal, security, financial statements and required business disclosures.
Metrc tracking was the most common category, appearing in 12 of the 21 records. Metrc is the system Michigan uses to track cannabis from production through sale. Nine records cite general operational issues. Six cite failures to report changes to a company’s legal entity, location or operations, while three cite other reporting issues.
Three records cite noncompliant sales, three cite noncompliant waste disposal, two cite surveillance or security issues, and two cite annual financial statement noncompliance. One cites packaging and advertising. The categories overlap: a single case can involve several violations, and some companies appear in more than one case.

The CRA imposed a fine in every August-dated case. Some actions also require the business to submit documents or meet other terms. August is when the listed actions were mailed; the report does not establish that the underlying conduct occurred that month.
June actions included in the August report
The CRA’s report also contains five records dated June, separate from the 21 August-dated cases.
Lucky Buds II in Bay City was fined over Metrc tracking, reporting, and surveillance or security issues. The agency lists a final order for Exclusive Ann Arbor with no terms. Both records are dated June 2.
Three more June records involve Millie Montana Industries in Clare. Each lists a fine and revocation involving grower licenses. Across the three cases, the CRA cites operational and security issues, Metrc tracking, waste disposal, sampling and testing, employee issues, and failure to report changes in operations. The agency dates those actions June 16.
Separately, the CRA’s August licensing report lists three nonrenewed licenses: Beach Fire Cannabis Company in Williamsburg, UBaked’s processor license in Burton and Consume Cannabis Lapeer’s medical processor license. Those nonrenewals are distinct from the disciplinary fines above.
