Have You Been To The Best Dispensary In Menominee, Michigan?

A dispensary with a 5-star reputation? That’s practically unheard of.

While cannabis industry gems are few and far between, one source took us down to a small town in Michigan for a crash course in Midwest weed culture.

What we got? Some dank infused pre-rolls and the inside scoop on one of Michigan’s favorite dispensaries: The Fire Station Cannabis Company (TFS).

With ten locations throughout the state, we just stopped by their newest shop in Menominee to see what the hype was about.

Here’s everything you need to know about shopping at The Fire Station Cannabis Company.

This calls for a brief Michigan history lesson.

Recreational cannabis was illegal in Michigan until November 6, 2018, when the state’s voters approved the proposal to make Michigan the 10th state (first in the Midwest) to legalize recreational weed.

It wasn’t until a year later, in December 2019, that state-licensed sales began. The first dispensary leading the charge? The Fire Station Cannabis Company—established and open for business that same year to make history as the Upper Peninsula’s first recreational cannabis retailer.

The brand’s accolades speak for themselves:

Top Employer: Landed #5 Best Cannabis Retailer to Work for in the United States in 2023 by Best Companies Group and Cannabis Business Times.

14 Michigan Green State Awards: The Fire Station dispensary has landed 14 awards from Michigan Green State in 2022, including Best Retailer for a Beginner, Best Recreational Retailer, and Best Recreational Cannabis Selection.

Voted ‘Region’s Best’: The Mining Journal’s ‘Best of the Best’ Awards voted TFS as the Upper Peninsula’s Best Cannabis Shop. The dispensary’s inaugural music festival, “Camp Cannabis” (more details below), was also voted Best Local Festival.

DEI-Driven: Not just one of the first dispensaries, TFS was one of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula’s first retailers to qualify for the state’s Social Equity All-Star Program’s ‘Gold Status.’

Accolades at The Fire Station Cannabis Co. don’t quit. Beyond setting an impressive standard for customer service, product selection, and overall quality, they’re deeply immersed in each community TFS serves.

Their Marquette County location is especially popular. For four consecutive years, The Mining Journal voted The Fire Station Cannabis Company as the #1 Cannabis Shop in Marquette County.

The three core reasons were:

• Competitive pricing
• Exceptional customer service
• One of the widest product selections

And the love extends far beyond retail. In 2022, The Fire Station hosted the successful Camp Cannabis festival with headliners like Sublime with Rome, The Floozies, and Asher Roth.

The event made history—becoming Michigan’s largest cannabis consumption event by square footage. It’s efforts like these that put The Fire Station at the forefront of the Midwest cannabis culture.

Our stop in Menominee started with a massive re-up. We had a few different preferences to please—a smoker, an e-dabber, and a live resin cartridge freak (talking about myself).

To our surprise, we stumbled upon some of the strongest stuff we’ve ever tried. Michigan Herbivores, you’ve gotta try these recommendations:

I get it—saying its name is a mouthful. But it also delivers a mouthful of cloudy smoke that even the pickiest connoisseur can’t deny.

This 3-pack of infused pre-rolls is incredibly potent, reaching strengths between 35-50% THC. Expect rich flavors of earthiness and a blast of ripe fruit punch.

For flower heads, you have to get your hands on the superior genetics in this powerhouse strain.

The Peninsula Gardens Ice Cream Cake Premium Flower is a potent Indica-dominant hybrid with stunning visuals of frosty trichomes and deep orange pistils. 

With creamy flavors, sweet hints of vanilla, and undertones of sugary dough, this cross between Wedding Cake and Gelato #33 perfectly reflects its name in every way.

My 510 battery needed something quick, efficient, and super potent. That’s when a friendly budtender brought out this vape cart.

The Cresco Liquid Live Resin 510 Cartridge delivers 1 gram of an incredibly pure concentrate made from fresh frozen flower. The result? 100% live resin oil in a balanced hybrid strain with true-to-plant effects and flavors.

This is seriously one of the best vape carts in Michigan that I’ve come across.

If you love the power of the real plant without sparking a cloud of smoke, this award-winning recipe is a must-try.

Whether it’s through product selection, friendly service, or community-oriented efforts, The Fire Station Cannabis Company is one of Michigan’s most impressive dispensary brands.

At their core? Advocacy and education. The people behind The Fire Station dispensary are herb lovers like you and me. They understand that access to cannabis may be easier, but it takes knowledge to know exactly which product will help your unique needs.

That’s where TFS steps in. Their company is doing everything in its power to reduce the stigma around cannabis and make sure everyone in Michigan can access it safely with informed buying decisions.

Some staff say it feels like home. They’re happy to show up and offer knowledgeable guidance, a welcoming atmosphere, and an unmatched cannabis experience.
