MichiGanja Report

Plus, somebody paid for weed and got a bag of dirt. Fellow Michigander, Some weed brands spend way more on marketing than on growing. This week, I met a Detroit crew that’s doing the total opposite. And if Runtz is your thing, they might be your new favorite. Plus, a Michigan company got caught shipping…

Pumpkin spice has gone missing from Michigan dispensaries. Fellow Michigander, Spooky season is here, and Michigan’s cannabis brands showed up in costume. This week, I rounded up six seasonal drops worth hunting down before Halloween—and noticed that one of the most iconic flavors of fall has vanished from dispensary shelves entirely. Plus, cannabis real estate…

Somebody sent me weed candy with no weed in it. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, A lot of us like to shop for weed by THC percentage. But I spent an afternoon in a Lansing lab with one of the people who run those tests—and she wishes we’d knock it off. The folks at…

I gave up joints for three days. You made me do it. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, A few weeks ago I asked what I should review next, and you told me vape pens—which is not what I would have picked. I’m a joint guy. But because I’m a man of my word, I…

Vote now or don’t complain in October. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, I need your help.  I opened the ballot for Michigan’s best cannabis brands about two weeks ago, and the votes have been rolling in ever since. But we’ve got three weeks left before polls close, and I want this list to be…

It cost me double. But I’d do it again. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, I gave up control of my personal stash last week and handed the buying power entirely to two Lansing budtenders who had no idea they were participating in my little dispensary experiment. I set no price limit, offered no brand…

Plus, you told me to grow my own—so I’m going to do it. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, There’s a lot on the ballot this year. I’d like to add one more thing to it. We haven’t asked Michiganders to vote on the state’s best weed brands since 2023, and the market has shifted…

I drove to Ann Arbor to find the good stuff. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, There’s a brand I’ve been hearing about for years that I can never find at my local dispensary. Last week, I finally tracked it down at a shop in Ann Arbor, loaded up on two ounces, and spent the…

Plus, there’s free swag on the line if you know your Michigan murals. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, I’ve spent a lot of time in this newsletter telling you where to drive to find good weed.  This week, I want to talk about who’s watching you make the trip. There are license plate cameras…

Plus, I’m giving away free tickets to Michigan’s biggest cannabis awards show. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, There’s a grow operation in Muskegon that won’t put a strain on the shelf until a group of senior stoners confirms it tastes the same way it did in 1978. I went in skeptical—and came out finally…
