Top cities for dispensaries in Michigan

What to expect from Michigan dispensaries

Michigan is home to over 700 marijuana dispensaries that cater to recreational and medical patients throughout the state. Since recreational dispensaries opened in 2019, locals have enjoyed the benefits of legalized cannabis. Still, many people have unanswered questions about dispensaries in Michigan. That's why our dispensary experts put together the essential information you need to navigate the unique marijuana dispensary landscape of the Great Lake State.

Michigan dispensary hours

Most cannabis dispensaries in Michigan are open from 9 am to 9 pm, with some open even later. Dispensaries are allowed to operate seven days a week and are usually open on holidays and during special events. You can verify the operating hours of your favorite Michigan dispensary at any time using Leafly.com.

Items to bring to a Michigan dispensary

To enter a recreational dispensary in Michigan, you must present a valid identification card, such as a driver's license, to verify you are at least 21 years old. Michigan recreational dispensaries will accept your out-of-state driver's license if you visit from an outside state.

Medical marijuana cards from outside states are accepted at medical dispensaries in Michigan. Only medical marijuana patients with a valid medical marijuana card may enter a medical dispensary in Michigan. Medical marijuana cards in Michigan are issued by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).

Estimated wait times for dispensaries

When recreational cannabis stores first opened their doors in Michigan, consumer demand was so high that many customers experienced long wait times to purchase cannabis—up to an hour or more. Since then, more cannabis stores have opened, fulfilling the high demand for cannabis across cities in Michigan. While wait times are not as long as they used to be, prepare to spend at least 15-20 minutes waiting in line, especially during the COVID era when establishments try to discourage overcrowding in small spaces.

How to find legit dispensaries in Michigan

Michiganders new to retail cannabis may wonder what makes a dispensary legitimate. Legit dispensaries are dispensaries that have a legal license to operate. Today, there are over 700 total licensed and legitimate dispensaries in Michigan. You can verify adult-use dispensary licenses through the Cannabis Regulatory Agency of Michigan or see a complete list of licensed marijuana dispensaries in Michigan on Leafly.com.

How to buy weed in Michigan: Tax Information

Michigan cannabis tax breakdown

Like most goods sold in the US, cannabis products in Michigan are subject to certain taxes. Every state has unique laws regarding cannabis tax, and the Great Lake State is no different. In Michigan, all cannabis purchases have a 10% excise tax and a statewide retail sales tax of 6%. The only exception to this rule is medical marijuana patients, who are only subject to a 6% sales tax. Cannabis taxes are applied during the checkout process at Michigan dispensaries. Cannabis taxes can also be calculated electronically through an online ordering system such as Leafly.

Michigan dispensaries are cash-only

Like other states that have legalized cannabis, Michigan requires all cannabis purchases to be cash. Fortunately, most local cannabis shops have ATMs to allow you to take out money for a small fee. Michigan dispensaries are cash-only because banks operate on the federal level, where marijuana is still illegal, making banks unable to accept anything but cash from dispensaries. Dispensaries in Michigan do not accept personal checks, credit cards, debit cards, or cryptocurrency as forms of payment for cannabis products.

Where to consume weed in Michigan

Michigan has passed laws outlining where people can and cannot smoke weed. Essentially, Michigan's consumption laws outlaw public cannabis consumption. There are only a few key locations where you are free to safely smoke and enjoy cannabis in the state, including:

  • Inside a home that you own
  • Inside a home that you rent with the landlord's written permission

How to transport weed in Michigan

It's important to note that Michigan has passed laws regarding the transportation of cannabis and consumption laws, and they work similarly to the state's open container laws. To safely and legally transport cannabis legally in Michigan, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Cannabis can only be transported by an adult aged 21 years old or older
  • Individuals may not consume cannabis while driving
  • Cannabis must be in an unopened container with seals
  • The amount of cannabis transported may not exceed 2.5 ounces of marijuana

In Michigan, it is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis. Penalties for driving under the influence of cannabis start with 93 days of jail time and a fine of up to $500 and/or 360 hours of community service. These penalties continue to increase based on the second or third offense. Medical marijuana patients may be the exception to this rule.

History of weed in Michigan

Originally a state built on lumbering, mining, and agriculture, Michigan is at the center of industries like manufacturing, and since 2019, cannabis has joined the list. The Great Lakes State was one of the first states in the Midwest to legalize cannabis back in late 2018 when voters passed The Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act. This legislation ushered the way for adult use, allowing recreational dispensaries in Michigan to open their doors on December 1, 2019.

Types of cannabis products available in Michigan

Both medical and recreational dispensaries in Michigan offer a wide selection of local cannabis products and strains ranging in price, quality, potency, and unique cannabinoid combinations (Ex. high THC, low CBD). Cannabis products widely available in Michigan dispensaries include cannabis flower, THC concentrates, THC edibles, cartridges, and pre-rolls. But before you start shopping, make yourself familiar with Michigan's cannabis purchase limits. If you visit a recreational dispensary today in Michigan, you can walk away with:

  • up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis flower. However, only 15 grams of this allotment can be used toward cannabis concentrates
