Michigan marijuana sales reached $267.7 million in March, pushing the state’s total for 2025 past $750 million in just three months.
According to data released by the research firm Headset, the March total marks a 10% increase from February’s $242 million and an 8% rise from January’s $247 million. Adult-use marijuana continues to account for the vast majority of sales, with medical marijuana making up just 2% of the market.
In total, Michigan’s marijuana industry has generated $756 million in sales, resulting in around $120 million in tax revenue.
While March sales set a new monthly high for the year, the number of licensed retail outlets remains steady at around 860.
Michigan voters approved recreational marijuana in 2018, and licensed sales began in late 2019. Adults 21 and older can legally purchase marijuana products from licensed stores and may possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and 15 grams of concentrate.
All recreational marijuana purchases are subject to a 10% excise tax and the state’s 6% sales tax. Tax revenue is distributed with 15% going to local governments with marijuana businesses, 15% to counties and municipalities, 35% to the School Aid Fund, and 35% to the Michigan Transportation Fund. Remaining revenue helps fund substance abuse treatment and law enforcement training.
