This ain't your grandpa's weed.
As Michigan's legal marijuana industry continues to blossom, dispensaries are offering an eclectic array of products, from meticulously grown flowers to delicious edibles and potent tinctures.
Recreational and medical marijuana sales in the state hit a record $115.4 million in March, a more than two-fold increase over March 2020, according to Headset, a company that analyzes cannabis consumer trends. There were 1.4 million transactions in March.
In 2020, the first full year of legal recreational sales, dispensaries rang up more than $500 million in purchases.
"Michigan's cannabis market is still growing," Cooper Ashley, a data analyst at Headset, tells
Metro Times. "It flattened out a bit in late 2020 but appears to be trending up again."
