Michigan retailers sold more recreational marijuana products than medicinal for the first time last week.
Since the sale of recreational marijuana became legal back in December, the weekly sales of adult use cannabis have been creeping up and up. But the sale of medical marijuana was always higher.
Until last week.
The Marijuana Regulatory Agency reports last week state retailers sold just over $10 million worth of recreational marijuana products compared with $9.9 million in medical marijuana.
Michiganders voted to legalize recreational marijuana use in 2018. State regulators spent most of 2019 crafting rules for the adult use industry, before allowing retail sales to begin in December.
Before the end of this month, it’s likely Michigan retailers will have sold more than $150 million in recreational use cannabis products since sales began legal December 1.
