Amid the Pandemic, Cannabis Sales are Booming in Michigan
While COVID-19 has put so many folks out of business, one industry is booming: cannabis. It’s been nearly one year since Michigan dispensaries were allowed to start selling marijuana for recreational purposes. And for many Michiganders, it came just in time. As people look for a way to take the edge off 2020, recreational cannabis sales are closing in on half a billion dollars. We talked to two people about why the cannabis industry is thriving in a year when most of us definitely are not. GUESTS: Dustin Walsh is a senior reporter at Crain's Detroit who covers Michigan’s cannabis industry. Marie King works with Bloom City Club, a dispensary with locations in Battle Creek, Burton, and Ann Arbor. Like the podcast? Support our work. Looking for the full show? Right this way.
