Is it the end of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Caregiver System?
As the medical marijuana market continues to decline, Michigan is considering a seamless integration of medical and recreational cannabis sectors.
Since the introduction of voter-approved recreational marijuana sales in late 2019, Michigan’s medical marijuana industry and its customer base have experienced a significant decline.
There were more than 450 medical provisioning centers in Michigan two years ago, but fewer than 200 today, according to state data. The number of patients — licensed for treatment due to chronic pain, arthritis and other ailments — has fallen from 251,000 in 2021 to fewer than 95,000.

Michigan’s approximately 3.2 billion dollar recreational marijuana market occasionally surpasses the more established industries of California and Colorado although the recent legalization of marijuana in Ohio may eventually impact sales in Michigan.
