Michigan recreational marijuana shops generated $221,000 in sales Sunday during the state’s first day of legal purchases — generated by three licensed facilities in Ann Arbor.
The total on the first day of legal adult use sales in Michigan doesn’t include the $22,100 paid to the state because of the 10% excise tax on adult use products or the $14,586 generated by the 6% sales tax, according to the Marijuana Regulatory Agency.
Lines of people from Michigan and other areas of the Midwest formed outside of the Ann Arbor retail shops Sunday to kick off sales that the state projects will total hundreds of millions of dollars in the first year.
Total medical marijuana sales from Oct. 1, 2018 through Nov. 22, 2019 were $269.5 million.
