Ann Arbor has been known as the cannabis capital of the state of Michigan with its long-running Hash Bash taking place every year on the first Saturday of April. Once Michigan legalized cannabis for adult-use in 2018, Ann Arbor became the first city to open up stores as soon as it could in December of 2019. There are a handful of dispensaries in the city, so it’s easy for anyone over the age of 21 or with a valid medical marijuana card to purchase cannabis. For those who live in Ann Arbor, it is also legal to grow up to 12 marijuana plants inside their own home.
