Here at The MichiGanja Report, we like to ask for reader feedback. Over the last year, we’ve asked our readers to tell us their favorite Michigan dispensaries, vapes, edibles, and more. Here are some of Michigan’s top stoner-approved brands and businesses:

The Best Dispensaries in Michigan

The latest state regulatory reports show there are more than 800 recreational marijuana dispensaries across Michigan. But let’s be blunt: Some are simply better than others.

And finding the perfect pot shop to spend your hard-earned cash can be a real challenge—especially when the average ounce of weed is selling for less than $80, and dozens of retailers are offering even more insane discounts to lure in new, first-time shoppers.

The Best Cannabis Brands in Michigan

The numbers don’t lie: Michiganders love to smoke weed.

The latest state sales reports show that more than $6.1 billion worth of cannabis products have been sold across Michigan since voters legalized marijuana for recreational use about five years ago—including about $270 million in retail sales tracked during the month of September alone.

And while Michiganders have fueled those sales by trying all sorts of new cannabis-infused candies, snacks, beverages, and other goodies in recent years, statistics show that Michigan’s favorite cannabis product is also one of its most classic: A good, old-fashioned bag of weed.

Every month for the last five years, the vast majority of the monthly sales tracked at Michigan’s pot shops have been from flower—which includes bags of marijuana and pre-rolled joints.

The Best Cannabis-Infused Edibles in Michigan

Not everyone likes to smoke weed. Some prefer to eat it instead.

The latest state regulatory reports show that Michigan’s pot shops sold more than $77 million (and counting) worth of cannabis-infused edibles so far this summer. But picking which ones to buy can be a challenge, especially with prices being at one of their lowest points in state history.

Thankfully, readers of The MichiGanja Report have some recommendations—or seven of them.

The Best Weed Vapes in Michigan

Smoking weed can be a stinky activity. Thankfully, modern technology has evolved, and there is now a wide array of smokeless vaporizer cartridges and disposable pens on the market for Michigan stoners who’d prefer to keep their cannabis consumption on the down-low.

The Best Cannabis Concentrates in Michigan

In the modern world of marijuana, many stoners are trading in their rolling papers for dab rigs and vape pens in search of the purest, most potent high that cannabis can provide.

Whether it’s for the intense flavors, the efficiency, or the sheer potency, concentrates have become the go-to choice for Michiganders looking to elevate their experience with weed.

In fact, concentrates now account for nearly 20% of the sales at Michigan’s dispensaries. But picking which brands to buy can be a challenge, especially with so many different products lining the shelves and prices still holding steady at one of their lowest points in state history.
