January Michigan Cannabis Sales Plunge From December

Feb 23, 2026 | Feature, Great Lakes Region, Michigan

January Michigan cannabis sales plunged nearly 16 percent from December and down more than 8 percent from January 2025.

That’s the news from the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency sales report.

Breaking down the figures:

  • Adult-use sales $226.4 million in January, down about 8.2% from January 2025.
  • Medical cannabis sales fell sharply by 43.4% year-over-year to about $400,000.
  • Supply once again surpassed demand, a pattern that has plagued Michigan for years.  

This downturn follows a broader trend in the Michigan market. 2025 cannabis sales topped $3.17 billion, down from $3.27 billion in 2024, the first yearly contraction since adult-use was legalized in December 2019.

While overall annual revenue remains in the billions, January sales figures signal renewed pressure on retailers and producers alike, particularly with a 24 percent wholesale tax that began on January first.
