Michigan, home of lakes, legendary football rivalries, and a deep cultural tradition of saying “no thanks, I don’t do cannabis” while clearly doing cannabis.
Seriously. You can’t throw a Petoskey stone without hitting someone who claims they “don’t use weed,” yet smells mysteriously like grapefruit terpenes and regret.
Let’s be blunt.
(See what I did there? SEO keyword pun. You're welcome, Google.)
"Who's actually using cannabis in Michigan?"
Oh, just everyone.
But quietly. Casually. Like it’s a secret club where the first rule is: deny, deny, pass the edible.
We’re talking about:
Soccer Moms in Traverse City: Sipping kombucha, wearing black athleisure, and housing 5mg gummies before yelling “GREAT HUSTLE, JAYDEN!” like it’s the Super Bowl.
Startup CEOs in Ann Arbor: Microdosing THC so they can “ideate at scale.” Translation: they hit a vape pen during their TED Talk prep.
Grandparents in Grand Rapids: Who say things like “it’s just for sleep,” and then absolutely crush 200mg of Dope Rope while watching Wheel of Fortune and probably having the best sex of their life while that wheel spins.
"Is Cannabis Legal in Michigan?"
Yes. Since 2018.
But based on how sneaky people are about it, you’d think it was a Prohibition-era speakeasy.
Nobody just says, “Yeah I smoke weed.”
Instead, you get:
“I only use it for anxiety.”
“I prefer tinctures.”
“My chiropractor recommended it.”
“It’s not weed, it’s just Delta-8... from a gas station... in a questionable bag.”
You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to know that if someone’s got a mini fridge labeled “kids’ snacks” with a padlock on it, they’re not storing Lunchables in there.
“What Types of Cannabis Products Are Popular in Michigan?”
Oh, you mean besides the ones everyone pretends they don’t use?
Here’s your list, SEO gods:
THC Gummies (aka the Midwest Mom’s happy hour)
Cannabis Vapes (because nothing says “low-key” like exhaling wild berry clouds in a Target parking lot and claiming it’s Nicotine)
Weed Edibles (for those who like their cannabis with a side of snacks)
CBD for Dogs (yes, your Labradoodle is high too)
It’s no longer about “getting stoned.”
It’s about “wellness,” “calm,” “focus,” and other adult-sounding words that make your weed use sound like a business expense.
“Why Is Everyone Pretending They Don’t Use Cannabis?”
Because we’re Midwesterners.
We apologize when people bump into us. You think we’re going to casually admit we use cannabis before church brunch?
No. We’re gonna:
Hide our edibles in an old Altoids tin
Use code words like “my night vitamins”
Giggle uncontrollably when someone says the word “munchies” in public
Final Thoughts (Before This Kicks In)
Here’s the truth, Michigan: You’re not fooling anyone.
Your neighbor with the “Live, Laugh, Love” sign?
High.
Your chiropractor?
High.
That guy running for city council? Definitely, high. His platform includes “Free Hot Pockets on Thursdays” and a city-funded hammock initiative.
So maybe... just maybe... it’s time we all stop pretending.
The stigma’s gone. The weed is legal. The snacks are dangerously good. And honestly, life makes a lot more sense when your gummies kick in right before someone asks if you want to play Euchre.
But hey — if you still want to keep your cannabis curiosity under wraps, we’ve got you covered.
Just sneak over to YourDetour.com. The digital speakeasy for people who “don’t do weed” but absolutely do. Pick your low-key product, write down the name like it’s your cousin’s fake ID, then strut into your local dispensary and request it like it’s a secret menu item at Starbucks.
Bonus tip: Always tip your budtender.
It’s the only way your secret stays between you, them, and the 5mg gummy you “accidentally” dropped in your purse.
Now go forth, Michigan.
And inhale the truth.
