Lume is a privately held, vertically integrated cannabis company which produces cannabis products for medical patients and recreational consumers. “Lume offers an unmatched variety of high-quality cannabis products, including more than 20 strains of high-quality Lume flower and our line of effects-based Lume cartridges that we look forward to introducing to customers at our Petoskey store.” “Our company has prepared for this day for a long time, and we are excited to meet the needs of recreational cannabis community in Petoskey and the surrounding communities,” Hellyar said. The communities’ decisions followed a 2018 Michigan ballot measure which legalized marijuana for recreational use at the state level. “They are allowed to do what they want and we understand that,” Wyman said.Īs of press time, attempts to reach Odawa tribal chair Regina Gasco Bentley for comment on Lume’s operations were unsuccessful.īear Creek Township and Mackinaw City were among more than 400 Michigan communities which opted out of the marijuana marketplace last year, while another 139 passed ordinances providing for marijuana-related enterprises to operate. Wyman noted the village has a fairly positive relationship with the tribe. I have to explain it and they seem to understand every time I do that.” We get calls almost daily from companies wanting to know why they are allowed to do that and the company (that) is calling is not. “We have opted out in both medical and recreational marijuana in the past. “Once it becomes in trust, it becomes a sovereign area within our village limits which means they do not have to comply with any of our ordinances or restrictions or anything like that,” Wyman said. Patrick Wyman, village manager in Mackinaw City, said village officials have no control over the Lume store in that community, at 1020 S.
