Michigan’s cannabis industry has grown into a giant economic force.\u00a0<\/span>In 2022, Michigan witnessed a staggering $2.03 billion in recreational marijuana sales. <\/span>On the other hand, medical cannabis, which requires a state-issued medical marijuana card<\/a>, raked in an additional $256 million. These figures were\u00a0reported by the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA)<\/a>, the state’s authority responsible for moderating cannabis activities<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bb If you are interested\u00a0<\/b>in getting your Michigan medical card, make an appointment with a state-licensed MMJ doctor today!<\/a><\/p>\n

This year, the trend continues, with recreational sales reaching $1.6 billion as of <\/span>July 2023. July also marks a record high in recreational cannabis sales with\u00a0 $270,603,217 in sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The story isn’t quite the same for medical cannabis sales which have trended downward since a $11 million January. By July, reported medical cannabis sales dropped as low as $6.1 million, according to CRA data. This puts the total medical cannabis sales for 2023 at around $59 million as of July.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Gets A Cut Of Michigan’s Flourishing Industry?<\/h2>\n

Both recreational and medical cannabis are subject to a 6% state sales tax. Recreational marijuana sales also carry an additional 10 percent excise tax for a total of 16.6 percent in taxes at the register. Here’s how Michigan allocates these tax revenues:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 15 percent to municipalities with cannabis retailers<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 15 percent to counties containing those municipalities<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 35 percent to the School Aid Fund for K-12 education<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 35 percent to the Michigan Transportation Fund<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the fiscal year 2022, Michigan generated $59,513,709 in tax revenue. It distributed $29,756,854, half of this sum, to eligible cities, villages, and townships. The other half went to other eligible counties<\/p>\n

    In the tri-county area, Oakland County, with 22 licensed retailers, received the highest tax revenue share at $1,140,506. Wayne County closely followed with $1,036,824 in tax revenue from its 20 licensed retailers and Macomb County with $725,776 from its 14 licensed retailers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    As of July 31, 2023, the CRA reports that 171 municipalities have opted in for medical cannabis facilities.\u00a0 Meanwhile, a staggering 2,080 opted in for recreational cannabis facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Michigan vs. California: The Battle of the Two Giant Cannabis Markets<\/h2>\n

    As mentioned earlier, Michigan raked in a record-breaking $276 million in cannabis sales in the month of July. That’s equivalent to about $8.9 million each day, with a whopping $270 million stemming from recreational sales alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Suppose we project this pace over the next year. In that case, the industry is poised to hit an impressive $3.3 billion in sales. To put it into perspective, Michigan’s total sales in 2022 reached $2.3 billion. <\/span>However, with sales and prices on the rise and more than 30 more retail shops set to open in Detroit, it’s highly likely that the final figure will surpass this estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

    These massive projections put Michigan in the same league as California, the largest cannabis market in the U.S. \u2014 at least on a per capita basis. In 2022,\u00a0 California brought in $5.3 billion in cannabis sales with the average resident buying $135 of cannabis. Michigan’s 2.3 billion in 2022 sales mean the average resident spent about $229 on cannabis!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Michigan’s impressive cannabis market profits are due, in large part to its unique regulatory policies. The state opted for an open-door policy with accessible licenses, lower taxes than many other states, and fewer restrictive rules that might deter entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
