(A) No person or entity shall obtain or be permitted to obtain any recreational marihuana/adult-use license/permit from the township without first obtaining the equivalent medical marihuana license/permit from the township. Specifically:
(1) As a prerequisite to an applicant obtaining a marihuana grower license of any class issued under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (“MRTMA”) from the township, the applicant must first obtain a grower license of any class issued under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (“MMFLA”) from the township;
(2) As a prerequisite to an applicant obtaining a marihuana processor license issued under the MRTMA from the township, the applicant must first obtain a processor license issued under the MMFLA from the township;
(3) As a prerequisite to an applicant obtaining a marihuana retailer license issued under the MRTMA from the township, the applicant must first obtain a provisioning center license issued under the MMFLA from the township; and
(4) As a prerequisite to an applicant obtaining a marihuana secure transporter license issued under the MRTMA from the township, the applicant must first obtain a secure transporter license issued under the MMFLA from the township.
(B) For the avoidance of doubt, while obtaining the necessary equivalent licence under the MMFLA is a prerequisite to an applicant obtaining an equivalent license under the MRTMA, the act of satisfying this prerequisite does not guarantee an applicant that he, she or it will successfully obtain any local township license/permit issued under the MRTMA. Instead, in addition to satisfying the prerequisite described herein, the applicant must also meet and comply with all other applicable state and local requirements and regulations and must be approved by the Planning Commission and Township Board where required.
