Coldwater has 13 dispensaries licensed by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Adults 21 and older can buy with a valid government photo ID from any state, and Indiana licenses are a common sight at the counter. All of Coldwater's stores are adult-use only; none holds a medical license. The catch for Indiana shoppers is simple: Indiana has not legalized cannabis, so anything you buy here has to stay in Michigan.
Coldwater is the Branch County seat, a short drive north of the Indiana line on I-69, and its store count is far bigger than its population would suggest. The reason is the drive up from Indiana: Michigan dispensary billboards line I-69 just north of the Angola exit, and one Coldwater store manager estimated to Fort Wayne's WANE-TV that about 60% of visitors came from Indiana. Most stores are a minute or two from I-69 Exit 13, where US-12 heads west into town as Chicago Street.

Coldwater and Michigan Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
In Michigan, adults 21 and older may buy 2.5 ounces per transaction, including no more than 15 grams of concentrate, and carry 2.5 ounces. At home they may keep 10 ounces and grow 12 plants. Our Michigan marijuana laws guide covers the rest.
- Indiana: Indiana has not legalized cannabis for adult or medical use, and possession of any amount there is a crime. Driving south on I-69 with cannabis bought in Coldwater means carrying it into a state where it is illegal.
- Ohio: Ohio has legal adult-use sales, but since March 20, 2026 Ohio law makes it a crime to possess marijuana bought outside Ohio.
- Federal law and driving: Taking cannabis across any state line violates federal law. Driving while impaired by marijuana is a crime in Michigan, and use in a parking lot or car is not protected.
Cannabis Taxes in Coldwater
Every Coldwater purchase carries Michigan's 10% excise tax on adult-use cannabis and the 6% state sales tax. Michigan does not let cities add sales taxes, and we found no Coldwater cannabis tax. The 24% wholesale tax that started January 1, 2026 is paid by businesses before products reach the shelf, so it is in the price rather than on the receipt. See our 2026 cannabis prices by state.
Medical Marijuana in Coldwater
No Coldwater store holds a medical license. Registered Michigan patients 21 and older can shop as adult-use customers, and patients aged 18 to 20 need a medical store elsewhere, such as Battle Creek.
