For the first time ever, stores sold legal recreational marijuana to customers. I visited one of the Native American dispensaries when they first started selling recreational cannabis. Michigan PricesMichigan legalized a few years before Minnesota, and dispensaries started popping up in Ironwood, Michigan. With only a few dispensaries offering recreational marijuana in Minnesota, the price will remain high. Transporting marijuana from Michigan back to Minnesota is illegal, but that doesn't stop thousands of people from doing it every day.
