• Federal fines (up to $10,000+)
• Vehicle seizure possible
• Criminal record affecting employment, housing, and future opportunities

State-Level Penalties:

Both Michigan and Ohio maintain separate cannabis laws. Violating either creates legal jeopardy.

What This Means for Your Trip:

Plan to consume any cannabis purchased at Olswell Adrian while you remain in Michigan. Options include:

1. Consume at a Michigan hotel or accommodation before returning to Ohio
2. Consume at a Michigan restaurant or public space where it's legal (note: consumption is limited to private residences in Michigan, so this is only private lodging)
3. Don't purchase products to transport across state lines

Many Ohio visitors purchase on their Adrian trip but don't consume until returning to Michigan on future visits.

Important Legal and Safety Considerations

Possession Limits:

Michigan allows adults to possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis. If purchasing, stay within this limit.

Consumption Rules:

Michigan permits consumption only in private residences. Public consumption is illegal and carries fines.

Driving:

Never drive after consuming cannabis. If you consume at a Michigan hotel before returning to Ohio, ensure you're sober before driving. Cannabis impairment carries DUI-level penalties.

Search at Border:

While unlikely, law enforcement can search vehicles at state borders. Transporting cannabis increases this risk. The best practice is not transporting cannabis across state lines at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
