Michigan’s legal marijuana market generated over $283 million in adult-use sales in August, according to the latest monthly report from the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA).

The state’s regulated cannabis industry has now reached $12,345,342,177 in total sales since legalization took effect, including $2.15 billion so far in 2025.

Adult-use retailers sold more than 653,000 pounds of marijuana products in August, along with over 3.3 million fluid ounces of infused liquids. Flower remained the dominant category with $121.6 million in sales, while vape cartridges followed at $51.9 million. Concentrates brought in $14.8 million, and infused edibles accounted for $24.1 million. The average retail price for an ounce of flower was $61.79.

Medical marijuana sales, by comparison, were far smaller at just under half a million dollars for the month. Medical flower sold at an average retail price of $82.72 per ounce. The medical program still maintains tens of thousands of patients, but it has been largely eclipsed by the recreational market.

Regional sales data highlight Wayne County as a major driver, generating more than $31 million in August adult-use sales. The East and Southeast region followed closely with $109 million. The Southwest region accounted for nearly $92 million, while the Upper and Mid Lower Peninsula combined for over $50 million.

Licensing activity remained steady. The CRA processed 37 initial adult-use license applications in August, issuing 52 new approvals. Renewal applications were also strong, with 151 received and 150 granted. In total, Michigan now has 2,207 active adult-use licenses, including 840 retailers, 840 Class C growers, 277 processors, and a growing number of event organizers and microbusinesses.

The report also sheds light on the state’s medical marijuana registry. As of August 31, Michigan counted 63,670 registered patients and 4,262 caregivers. Chronic pain remains the most common qualifying condition, cited in over half of all certifications. Other leading conditions include post-traumatic stress disorder and arthritis.

Financially, the CRA collected more than $3 million in licensing revenue from adult-use businesses in August, in addition to nearly $3.2 million from medical renewals. Expenses for staffing, benefits, and equipment totaled about $2.5 million across both programs.

The August figures reinforce Michigan’s status as one of the largest marijuana markets in the United States, with sales routinely exceeding a quarter-billion dollars each month.
