Adult-use recreational marijuana has been legal in Michigan since voters approved a ballot proposal in the 2018 election, and sales commenced in 2019. However, numerous Michigan communities have chosen not to participate.
That doesn’t mean recreational cannabis is illegal in these areas, it just means that businesses are prohibited from selling it.
Among the 1,773 municipalities in Michigan, which includes cities, villages, and townships, over 1,300 have chosen not to participate in cannabis sales and associated tax revenue.
