What's the Difference Between Medical & Recreational?

Price and edible potency are the primary differences when ordering.

Medical Marijuana vs Recreational Marijuana

The state taxes medical and recreational marijuana differently. Michigan requires 6% tax on medical marijuana, but 16% tax on the recreational side. Regarding edible potency, there is a 200 mg cap on medical edibles and a 100 mg cap on recreational products. There is no significant potency difference in our flowers and cartridges. And the licenses for processor and growers differs slightly from what the dispensary carries.

 

 

*Due to recent regulation changes, Recreational customers are also able to purchase 200mg edibles.
