Michigan Marijuana Industry Valued at $3.2 Billion in 2020

LANSING, July 2, 2021 ~ Recreational marijuana usage was legalized in Michigan in 2018. According to Anderson Economic Group, marijuana sales in Michigan reached $3.2 billion in 2020.

The Anderson Economic Group study reflects a vibrant regulated marketplace with unlimited economic potential,” said Michigan Cannabis Manufacturers Association (MCMA) Board Chair Shelly Edgerton.

Despite new legalization laws, illegal sales still remain the primary way Michiganders procure marijuana. The study found that nearly 70% of all cannabis market sales in Michigan still occur outside of regulated retail stores.
