Working in Michigan? There isn't a general individual worker license.
Michigan's Cannabis Regulatory Agency says individual employees at licensed facilities generally are not individually licensed. The licensed business is responsible for required employee background checks and other employment screening.
Do not pay for a generic 'Michigan cannabis worker license' just because a training site says you need one. Check the CRA and the actual employer's requirements for the job you want.
