LANSING – The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency has taken disciplinary action against 39 Michigan cannabis companies and license holders during April 2026, citing a wide range of violations involving inventory tracking, security systems, improper sales practices, packaging rules, reporting failures, and operational compliance issues.
Many of the disciplinary actions involved “METRC non-compliance,” referring to Michigan’s statewide seed-to-sale cannabis tracking system. METRC violations can include failures to properly track cannabis inventory, discrepancies between physical inventory and digital records, incorrect transfers between facilities, or missing product data. Regulators rely on METRC to prevent illegal diversion of marijuana into the black market and to ensure products are properly tested and accounted for.
Another common violation category was “AFS non-compliance,” tied to the state’s Accela Financial System and other administrative reporting requirements. These issues often involve incomplete filings, missing financial documentation, unpaid regulatory fees, or failures to properly maintain required business records.
Several companies were also cited for “non-compliant sales,” which can include selling cannabis products outside approved purchase limits, improper customer verification procedures, or selling products that were not properly entered into the state tracking system.
“Packaging and advertising” violations generally involve cannabis products or marketing materials that fail to meet Michigan rules designed to protect consumers and minors. That can include improper warning labels, packaging considered attractive to children, inaccurate potency information, or advertising claims that violate state regulations.
The CRA also cited multiple businesses for “surveillance/security” violations. Michigan cannabis operators are required to maintain extensive video surveillance systems, secure storage procedures, and strict access controls. Violations can include missing camera footage, blind spots in surveillance coverage, malfunctioning security systems, or failures to retain required recordings.
Other disciplinary actions referenced “general operational issues,” a broad category that may include staffing problems, sanitation concerns, employee credential violations, improper storage procedures, or failures to follow standard operating requirements.
Some companies were cited for “failure to report material changes,” meaning businesses allegedly failed to notify regulators about significant operational or ownership changes. These can include changes in legal ownership structure, facility modifications, management changes, or operational relocations that require state approval.
The report also included violations involving “non-compliant handling and production” and “waste disposal.” Those violations may involve improper processing methods, unsafe product handling procedures, or failures to destroy cannabis waste according to state environmental and security rules.
