Recreational Marijuana Sales 

Recreational (adult-use) marijuana sales in Michigan neared $6.5 million during the first month of the new market’s existence and are expected to rapidly grow this year as dozens of more retail shops are licensed. According to Marijuana Industry Daily, recreational marijuana sales are projected to range from $1.4 billion to $1.7 billion a year by mid-2021.
