Future Detroit pot growers have one more day to apply for 'legacy' status By Jack Nissen DETROIT - Legacy Detroiters have one more day to take advantage of an early application process that starts them on the path toward obtaining a marijuanalicense in the city before the offer opens up to people who live elsewhere. Residents of Detroit were given six weeks to send in their application to gain a Legacy Detroiter credential. Any individuals that gain approval gain priority access to 10 different adult-use recreational marijuana licenses. So far, several hundred residents have already submitted applications to be eligible for a license, more than expected. Residents that qualify open up a breadth of benefits for starting a cannabis dispensary in the city, like low-cost land and discounts on licenses.
