Bay City has 13 dispensaries licensed by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Shoppers need to be 21 or older and show a valid government photo ID; visitors can buy too. None of Bay City's stores holds a medical license. Bay City is also one of the Michigan cities that opened the door to social use: in April 2023 the city commission voted to allow up to five cannabis consumption lounge licenses.
Bay City's market leans heavily to the west side of the Saginaw River. Euclid Avenue, the commercial strip that runs north and south along the west edge of town, holds the most-reviewed stores, including Dispo, which has more Google reviews than any store in Bay City or Saginaw. A second, smaller group of shops sits in the older blocks on both sides of the river near downtown and Midland Street.
