I wanted to start the conversation of MI dispensaries you've enjoyed (or maybe ones you wouldn't go back to). Most of my experience is in southeast MI, just to caveat my preferences which are all in Ann Arbor:
GO-TO: Information Entropy
Without a doubt, Information Entropy is my dispensary-of-choice at the moment.
Flower: The house flower is top notch and fresh, I've never been disappointed. Usually around $99 for half oz. Some highlights include Alien Mints, Project 007, Runtz. For a more budget-friendly choice, 7 Point usually runs around $50 for half oz and is great bud.
Concentrates: Diverse and high quality selection of concentrates. I'm a fan of rosin, and their house rosin is fantastic (e.g. Zealousy, Motorbreath). They also have the best prices for 710 Labs I've seen. All concentrates are kept in a fridge/freezer, and recently they started giving out ice packs for the drive home.
It feels like every few months, their product line evolves into a higher state, which keeps me excited to return.
OTHER FAVORITES
Winewood Organics: Their flower is very tasty and feels grown and handled with love. Going to Winewood feels like going to a farmers market. While a little pricier compared to other options, their product quality more than justifies the cost for me. Some highlights include Peanut Butter Breath and Grape Gelato Pie. I've also tried a few rosins and really enjoyed them, particularly the Superboof.
ArborSide - North Coast: I recently visited Arborside for the first time and loved the deli style flower (thinking about buying my own Cvaults). I went on customer appreciation day, and the prices were fantastic, around $50 for half oz. I picked up Banana Macaroon, Tropicana Cherry, and Great White, and have been enjoying all of them. Kind of a weak rosin selection though.
As a Hoosier, Jars, Joyology, Green Tree Relief, or Symponia Farms (if I feel like making the drive). Jars has a nice selection at good prices. Symponia farms has really good fresh flower, but you'll want to ask the bud tender what the freshest bud is because they're product can sit, as they're not super busy. Joyology and Green Tree Relief are closest to the border.
My favorite is actually Meds Cafe in Rogers City. It's a small shop, they have a really solid selection. I think there are a lot of growers up there, because not at all hard to find interesting and fresh bud. That said, I don't have a ton of experience with a lot of different dispensaries. I've been to maybe half a dozen total.
My go-to is Joyology in Auburn hills. They are decent, their prices seem only slightly higher than a little up north shop. Most importantly, they are close to my house. 🙂
