As recreational marijuana sales began in Ohio last month, many in Michigan’s cannabis industry were curious to see how this would affect their thriving market. For years, Michigan has been a go-to destination for Ohio residents crossing the border to buy cannabis, thanks to a wide selection of dispensaries near Ohio in cities like Monroe and Morenci. Many of these shops even advertise their proximity to Ohio to attract out-of-state customers.
Despite Ohio generating nearly $55 million in recreational marijuana sales during its first month, data from Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency shows that Michigan’s market remained largely unaffected. In fact, August sales for Michigan recreational cannabis hit $294 million, up from $286 million in July, reflecting a 3% growth. This suggests that Michigan’s cannabis industry continues to thrive, even with the new competition from Ohio.
