Ann Arbor has 24 dispensaries licensed by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Adults 21 and older with a valid government photo ID can buy, including visiting parents, alumni and out-of-state students who are old enough. 1 Ann Arbor store also holds a medical license. Ann Arbor keeps later hours than most Michigan cities: several stores near downtown and campus stay open until midnight, and one opens at 7 a.m.
Ann Arbor's cannabis history runs deeper than legalization. The city's Hash Bash rally has met on the University of Michigan Diag every April for more than five decades, with the 55th held on April 4, 2026. Today the market is spread across the whole city, from walkable shops downtown and next to campus to bigger stores out on Washtenaw Avenue, Plymouth Road and Ellsworth Road. Students should know one thing up front: the university bans cannabis on its property, even for students over 21.

Cannabis Taxes in Ann Arbor
Your receipt will show Michigan's 10% adult-use excise tax and the 6% state sales tax. Michigan has no local sales taxes, and we found no separate Ann Arbor cannabis tax. A 24% wholesale marijuana tax took effect January 1, 2026, but businesses pay it before the product reaches the store, so it shows up in shelf prices rather than as a receipt line. Ann Arbor prices are worth comparing store to store; see our 2026 cannabis prices by state.
