In Michigan, you must be at least 21 years old to purchase recreational cannabis, including pre-rolls, from a licensed dispensary. You will be required to show a valid government-issued photo ID at the point of purchase. For medical marijuana, adults (18+) can apply directly for a state-issued medical card. Patients under 18 can also qualify through a parent or guardian process with additional requirements.
Yes. Michigan does allow licensed medical provisioning centers to accept certain out-of-state medical registry cards for “visiting qualifying patients,” as long as the licensee verifies the card (or equivalent) and checks a government-issued photo ID, per CRA guidance. However, availability may vary by dispensary, so it is best to call ahead. As an adult 21 or older, you can also purchase from the recreational market with a valid government-issued ID.
A regular pre-roll is made from ground cannabis flower only. An infused pre-roll has been enhanced with a concentrated form of cannabis, such as kief, hash, distillate, or rosin. This infusion significantly increases the potency of the pre-roll and can also alter or enhance its flavor and effect profile. Infused pre-rolls are often more expensive but offer a much stronger experience.
The price of a pre-roll in Michigan varies widely based on brand, quality, and whether it’s infused. You can find budget, shake-filled pre-rolls for as low as $1 to $2. A quality, single-gram pre-roll from a reputable brand typically costs between $5 and $15. Premium, infused, or artisanal pre-rolls (especially rosin or bubble-hash infused) can range from ~$12 to around $50, and occasionally higher depending on size and brand.
Yes. Under Michigan’s administrative rules, adult-use retailers may not sell more than 2.5 ounces (approximately 70 grams) per transaction, and no more than 15 grams of that can be concentrate. Since a standard non-infused pre-roll is 1 gram, you could theoretically purchase up to ~70 non-infused pre-rolls in a single transaction, subject to concentrate-equivalency rules for infused products. Individual dispensaries may also have their own purchase policies.
