MICHIGAN—Light one up and catch up. The state’s cannabis industry is continuing to evolve—and we’re tracking every twist, turn, and toke-worthy headline so you don’t have to.
Here’s what’s making smoke this week:
PRICE PRESSURE: Michigan’s cannabis prices have plummeted—from $512 an ounce in 2019 to about $65 today. And while this seems like a win for consumers, it’s led to the market being flooded with mediocre products. Supporting top-shelf cultivators may cost more, but it’s essential for maintaining quality in the industry, Steve Neavling writes for Detroit Metro Times.
BORDER BAN: Indiana has enacted a new law prohibiting marijuana advertising across the state, including on billboards, mailers, digital ads, and mobile trucks. This move directly impacts Michigan dispensaries that have relied on such advertising to attract Indiana customers.
CANNA-CAMPING: Visit Detroit recently assembled a list of the state’s best cannabis-friendly campgrounds, where you can legally pitch a tent and burn a joint under the stars this summer.
PRICE GAP: Ohioans are shelling out more than double for weed compared to Michiganders. This disparity is largely attributed to Ohio’s newer market, limited licensing, and higher taxes.
CONCENTRATE CONTROVERSY: Pure Roots—operating as Forte Cannabis—is under scrutiny for allegedly using unregulated hemp-derived THC concentrate in its products.
