A Brief History of Cannabis in Michigan

Prohibition Era

Cannabis was prohibited nationwide in the early 20th century, leading to decades of stigma and criminalization. In Michigan, strict penalties for possession and use persisted for decades.

The Medical Marijuana Era

In 2008, Michigan voters approved the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, making the state one of the first in the Midwest to legalize medical cannabis. This marked a turning point, as attitudes toward cannabis began to shift.

Recreational Legalization

By 2018, Michigan voters approved the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act, allowing adults 21 and older to purchase and use recreational cannabis. The industry has since flourished, contributing billions to the state’s economy.
