Marijuana Should Only Ever Be In Your Trunk When Driving, No Exceptions
by Marijuana Patients • Legal • Tags: 4856, marijuana, michigan, trunk
We are getting many accounts of medical marijuana patients throughout Michigan being arrested or fined for violating our new driving with marijuana law, or as we like to call it “Marijuana Trunk Law”. Some patients simply did not know of the new law and had their medicine in a purse or even in the back seat during routine traffic stops. We had received word of some patients being let go and warned, and assume the discretion and attitude of the officer has a lot to do with your outcome.
It appears law enforcement is well educated regarding the new law, and are arresting patients who do not keep their medical marijuana in a trunk. No concern for arrest if you remember to keep it in your trunk, every time.
Below you can read the new law, and it is worth repeating, keep your marijuana in your trunk and be safe.
Sec. 474. (1) A person shall not transport or possess usable marihuana as defined in section 26423 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.26423, in or upon a motor vehicle or any self-propelled vehicle designed for land travel unless the usable marihuana is 1 or more of the following:
(a) Enclosed in a case that is carried in the trunk of the vehicle.
(b) Enclosed in a case that is not readily accessible from the interior of the vehicle, if the vehicle in which the person is traveling does not have a trunk.
(2) A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.
