| Can You Buy Pot Legally In Detroit |
The Short Answer: Absolutely!
Michigan legalized the recreational use of marijuana back in 2018, but Detroit, in true bureaucratic fashion, took its sweet time getting on board. Thankfully, those days are over. As of December 2019, Detroiters (and visitors, we're not judging) 21 and over can legally purchase cannabis products from licensed dispensaries.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Why the Wait?
Detroit's hesitation wasn't because the city council secretly harbors a disdain for all things chill. They were actually aiming to create a system that prioritizes social equity. This means giving opportunities to those who may have been disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs to participate in the legal cannabis market.
