As of October 8, 2026, CBD (Cannabidiol, hemp-derived) is in a legal gray area (sold in practice, exposed to an interpretive ban theory) in Michigan as edible / ingestible. Michigan: no CBD retail statute; food-law exposure for CBD foods and drinks is interpretive. Controlling source: MCL Act 547 of 2014.
Verified October 8, 2026 · confidence: confirmedMichigan's Industrial Hemp Research and Development Act (MCL 286.841 et seq.) licenses growers and processor-handlers and measures hemp at 0.3% delta-9 THC; no Michigan statute licenses CBD retail, sets an age limit, or bans CBD in food. Michigan food law generally tracks federal adulteration standards, which gives CBD food and drinks interpretive exposure (no MDARD guidance was re-read here). SB 599-602 (consumable hemp licensing) passed the Senate but are not law. Applies to CBD ingestibles (oil/tincture, capsules, gummies, drinks). Limit noted: 0.3% delta-9 THC. Pending: SB 599-602 (Industrial Hemp Processing Act) pending in the House. Federal: from 2026-12-11 the federal hemp definition excludes final hemp-derived cannabinoid products (ingested, topical or animal use) with more than 0.4 mg combined total THC per container (Pub. L. 119-37 div. B sec. 781, as delayed by Pub. L. 119-103 sec. 2019); full-spectrum CBD above 0.4 mg per container becomes marijuana federally in every state.
