As of October 8, 2026, CBG / CBDA / CBGA (hemp-derived) is in a legal gray area (sold in practice, exposed to an interpretive ban theory) in Michigan as raw material / ruo. Exposure: MCL 286.847 requires a license to market hemp in Michigan but issues licenses only for in-state sites, so it is unclear whether an out-of-state seller shipping bulk CBG to a Michigan buyer is itself marketing hemp in this state. Controlling source: MCL 286.847, Processor-handler license required.
Verified October 8, 2026 · confidence: under_reviewThe Industrial Hemp Research and Development Act bars any person from processing, handling, brokering or marketing industrial hemp in Michigan without a processor-handler license (MCL 286.847(1)), and "market" includes selling hemp or a hemp product (MCL 286.842(l)). A license is denied when the applicant's sites are not in Michigan (MCL 286.848(1)(b)), the application fee is $1,350 (MCL 286.856), and licensing of processor-handlers moved from MDARD to the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (compiler's note citing E.R.O. No. 2022-1). Industrial hemp, including extracts and cannabinoids, is capped at 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis, and THC includes THCA and any tetrahydrocannabinol however derived (MCL 333.27953), so trace-THC distillate must test at or under 0.3% total THC. CBG is not named and there is no allowed-cannabinoid list for bulk extract; the THC definition does not reach extracted CBG. In practice the Michigan buyer that processes CBG must hold a processor-handler license or a marijuana processor license. Federal: from 2026-12-11 bulk CBG stays hemp only if it is plant-derived, at or under 0.3% combined total THC, and sold to businesses rather than consumers (7 U.S.C. 1639o(1)(C)(ii)-(iii)).
a person shall not process, handle, broker, or market industrial hemp in this state unless the person is licensed as a processor-handler under this act.
