Let’s face it, when it comes to the world of Cannabis, there are many terms that we find unfamiliar.  After all, though it has been around for generations, Cannabis is now just coming back into the spotlight.  Since the introduction of Medical Cannabis into Michigan we saw “dispensaries” change to “provisioning centers”, and Marijuana written as “Marihuana” through the state medical program.  Now there is a new term entering the industry: “Adult Use”.

What exactly is Adult Use?  According to Leafly.com: The term “adult-use” comes from the notion that not all patrons of a cannabis dispensary are consuming cannabis solely for recreational purposes. Cannabis can and is utilized for many reasons that go beyond the recreational/medicinal cannabis binary.  This means, for all intents and purposes, “Adult Use” and “Recreational” are synonymous, yet separate in the eyes of the law.

With the introduction of Adult Use into Michigan there are some rules that you will need to take into consideration.  If you are thinking that Cannabis is for you, keep in mind that not all Provisioning Centers are able to sell directly for Adult Use at this time, though we will be seeing some open in the area within the coming months.  When the time comes, Leafly.com suggests that you keep the following in mind:

  • You must be at least 21 years old to purchase cannabis from an adult-use store.
  • Your valid, unexpired state ID is your key to the kingdom of cannabis. When in doubt, bring your valid, unexpired passport. (Emphasis on “valid and unexpired.”)
  • Many stores have menus to peruse on their website or while you stand in line. Menus can be organized in many different ways, but most commonly by product type (e.g. flower, concentrate, edible, topical, etc.). Note that the best cannabis isn’t always the most expensive or have the highest THC%.
  • There are great budtenders on the medical and adult-use sides of the cannabis industry, but generally speaking, a recreational dispensary budtender does not have the time to devote 20 minutes of undivided attention to each customer like many medical budtenders will. This doesn’t mean a budtender won’t educate you or share sincere recommendations; rather, adult-use storefronts are grab-and-go locations generally designed for accessibility and convenience. And just as liquor stores can have sommeliers and/or regular checkers, cannabis dispensary associates can range from verbose horticulture majors to basic “customer service representatives.”
