How to shop for marijuana at metro Detroit dispensaries – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

Michigan voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana in 2018 for anyone who is at least 21 years old, setting up a state system that licenses, regulates and taxes the businesses involved.

Since then, hundreds of recreational dispensaries have opened around the state, and more than $5.3 billion in products ranging from pre-rolled joints to concentrates have been sold to consumers.

Most dispensaries sell a wide range of products at a variety of price points. Still, the interior of these stores can range widely, with some trying to recreate the “welcoming atmosphere” found at Shinola stores, according to the founder of the cannabis company New Standard. Others, like an executive at the cannabis company Noxx, say that the company is fully embracing cannabis culture and communicating acceptance and inclusion.
