Mar 18, 2026 | Featured, Great Lakes Region, Michigan

Pontiac is finally entering Michigan’s recreational cannabis market more than six years after sales began statewide with the opening of Kulture 81, the city’s first licensed dispensary.

The provisioning center, located inside a converted building at 81 N. Saginaw St., held a soft opening last week and is scheduled to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. Tuesday with city officials, including Mayor Mike McGuinness. 

A grand opening is planned for April 20.
