Michigan Judge Allows Marijuana Tax Increase To Take Effect Despite Industry Lawsuit

Cannabis industry groups argued that the tax violates the state Constitution by amending a voter-approved legalization law without following due process.

By: Ben Solis, Michigan Advance

A group of cannabis industry advocates failed to convince a Michigan Court of Claims judge that it would suffer irreparable harm. A new 24 percent wholesale tax on marijuana went into effect To fund future road repairs in the state.

In an opinion issued Monday, Court of Claims Judge Sima Patel said Holistic Research Group Inc./Michigan Cannabis Industry v. That the Michigan Department of Finance was denying plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction.

The joint lawsuits said the new tax was approved in October as part of a comprehensive budget deal for 2025-26. Raising new revenue for road repair and reconstruction Until 2030, because it was against the Constitution violated the title-object clause of the state Constitution.

Patel said Monday, after hearing oral arguments on the case in November, that the industry’s advocates had failed to argue that there was a genuine constitutional issue, nor had the group briefly shown that the Michigan Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act, which legalized the use and sale of cannabis in Michigan, was the only legal mechanism for taxing the flower.

“(The road funding act) is consistent (with the marijuana tax law). Plaintiffs say the phrase ‘all other taxes’ … refers only to generally applicable taxes, like the 6 percent sales tax imposed on all retail sales,” he wrote. “If that were true, however, the initiative could have simply said that. Instead, the initiative clearly stated that the 10 percent retail excise tax was in addition to ‘all other taxes.’

Patel also pointed out that the Legislature did not directly change any of the existing taxes in the regulatory act, nor replace them with the new tax in the road funding legislation; rather, the Legislature established a new separate tax, which is allowed under the governing law.

“The two statutes can be read together,” Patel wrote.

So the claim about the mechanism by which a new tax could be imposed was dismissed, Patel wrote.

Patel, however, allowed the case to go forward to determine whether the tax interferes with the intent of the voter-initiated law that allowed the consumption, regulation and sale of marijuana. Patel said there remained a genuine issue in the matter, which required further consideration by the court.

“The court must consider the intentions of the (tax act) drafters and the effect of the new wholesale excise tax on the (tax law’s) objectives,” Patel wrote. “The court will not be able to resolve these questions of fact at the summary disposition stage. Discovery will be necessary to develop the evidence necessary to support the parties’ positions.”
