High times, low prices: Michigan dispensaries with the cheapest ounces

Plus, our recommendations for cheap shake, cartridges, and pre-rolls.

MICHIGAN—It’s the season to blaze up without breaking the bank. Just because Michigan’s marijuana market is on the rise, that doesn’t mean you have to burn a hole in your wallet to enjoy some sweet leaf.

Marijuana prices vary like a wild ride at a theme park across the US. According to Price of Weed—a site that tracks national pot prices—at the peak sits Washington, D.C., where scoring an ounce of medium-grade marijuana can cost a jaw-dropping $550. On the flip side is our very own Michigan—a leader in legalizing both medicinal and recreational marijuana through voting. Adult-use prices here average a very reasonable $97.62 per ounce, according to figures from the Cannabis Regulatory Agency—with prices varying based on flower quality.

Curious about the cost of convenience? In Michigan, the average price for a joint is around $6.36, which keeps us in line with the national average. But hold onto your lighters, because in D.C. that same pre-roll can cost a sky-high $13, while people down in Mississippi (where weed is still only legal for medical use) enjoy a pocket-friendly price of just $4. Ouch!

So, as we wrap up 2023—along with those holiday gifts and blunts—we’re rounding up where you can find the best deals around the state. Do note that these prices are accurate as of November 2023. Always double-check with dispensaries, as prices, deals, and timely discounts change often.
