Recreational marijuana celebrates one year in MI

LANSING, MI (MPRN)--   On Tuesday Michigan marks one year of legal retail sales of recreational marijuana.

Robin Schneider is the executive director of the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association. She says the industry is still expanding.

“I would say we’re not even close to market saturation yet.”

Since sales began last December roughly $450 million worth of recreational pot products have been sold in the state.
