Recreational cannabis use began legal for adults in Michigan way back in 2019, after the 2018 election period where Michigan voters passed proposal 3. After this proposal was signed into law by all necessary parties, the dispensaries got to work. Within a couple of years, the state of Michigan already had hundreds of dispensaries open for business.

Now, there are so many dispensaries that its hard to choose which one you're going to spend your money at and its almost impossible to pick a favorite. What I can say is that if you play the game right you should always be receiving free items from rewards and your birthday should provide weeks if not months of free cannabis from all of your visits.

Nonetheless, Southwest Michigan is quite literally jam packed with dispensaries as there seems to be one on every corner. Especially here in Kalamazoo, everywhere you turn there are a few dispensaries within walking distance and don't even get me started on Battle Creek who should just rename Capital Avenue as the Marijuana Mile.

As this decision continues to get harder for those of us here in Michigan that like to participate in these adult activities, I wanted to help you all out. Whether you are new to the cannabis game, a seasoned vet, or looking for a place to visit while traveling, this list will be the perfect place to start.

Below is a list of some of the best legal cannabis dispensaries in Southwest Michigan for recreational adult use, along with where you can find some of their locations and what those cannabis companies are known for.

Here are the number of stores in these border towns. Population data is from the U.S. Census Bureau.
