Detroit’s City Council pushback on marijuana (marihuana) dispensaries has taken years to resolve. Council first approved recreational marijuana licenses in 2020 with a “likely unconstitutional” preference for Detroit-based businesses. A revised ordinance was passed in 2022 and took effect in April 20th. Based on WeedMaps.com it would appear that not many businesses still have engaged in the licensing process with just a few locations on Gratiot Ave., Lyndon (Westside), and a few in Corktown/Southwest while nearly every border of the city is clustered with recreational marijuana dispensaries.
