Saginaw has 13 dispensaries licensed by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). All of them sell adult-use cannabis to anyone 21 or older with a valid government photo ID, visitors included. No Saginaw store holds a medical license. Hours are easy to remember here: almost every store keeps the same 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule.
Saginaw took nearly two years after legalization to open its adult-use market. The city council adopted its ordinance in September 2020, City Hall began taking applications in January 2021, and stores must stay at least 250 feet from public parks. The Saginaw River splits the market roughly in half, with one group of stores on the west side around Court Street and Gratiot Avenue and another on the east side along Genesee Avenue.

Cannabis Taxes in Saginaw
At a Saginaw register you pay Michigan's 10% excise tax on adult-use cannabis and the 6% sales tax. Michigan does not have local sales taxes, and we found no Saginaw cannabis tax on shoppers. The 24% wholesale marijuana tax, in effect since January 1, 2026, is paid by businesses before the product reaches the store and is reflected in shelf prices. See our 2026 cannabis prices by state.
