Products & Consumption
Indica strains are generally associated with relaxing, body-focused effects — great for evening use or winding down. Sativa strains tend to be more uplifting and energizing, often preferred for daytime use or creative activities. Hybrids combine traits of both. That said, the effects of any strain depend on its full cannabinoid and terpene profile, not just the indica/sativa label. Our budtenders can help you find the right match for the experience you're looking for.
Shop Strains
The golden rule is "start low, go slow." For beginners, start with 1 to 2.5mg of THC (a microdose). Casual consumers typically enjoy 5 to 10mg. The most important thing to know: edibles take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in because they're processed through your digestive system. Don't take more just because you don't feel anything yet. Wait at least 2 hours before considering another dose. Read our full edibles guide for more detail.
Browse Edibles
The main consumption methods are: Flower (smoking or vaporizing dried cannabis — fastest onset, easiest to control dosage), Edibles (gummies, chocolates, baked goods — longer onset but longer-lasting effects), Vape cartridges (portable, discreet, fast-acting), Concentrates (dabs, wax, shatter — high potency, for experienced users), Tinctures (liquid drops placed under the tongue — precise dosing), and Topicals (creams and balms applied to the skin — no psychoactive effects, good for localized relief). Our budtenders can walk you through the pros and cons of each based on your goals.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis (and many other plants) that contribute to each strain's unique smell, flavor, and effects. For example, myrcene is associated with relaxation, limonene with mood elevation, and pinene with alertness. Many cannabis researchers believe terpenes work together with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to produce what's called the "entourage effect," where the whole plant delivers a more nuanced experience than any single compound alone.
Store flower in an airtight container in a cool, dark place — avoid plastic bags, which can degrade trichomes. Keep edibles in their original packaging and store them away from heat and direct sunlight. Vape cartridges should be stored upright at room temperature. All cannabis products should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Properly stored flower stays fresh for several months.
Michigan Laws & Compliance
- Total Amount: You may purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces (70.87 grams) of cannabis flower at a time.
- Concentrates: Out of that 2.5-ounce total, no more than 15 grams can be in the form of cannabis concentrate (such as resin, shatter, or wax).
- Infused Products: Edibles and other infused products are included in the 2.5-ounce limit based on a conversion formula.
- Per Transaction: The 2.5-ounce limit is per transaction. There is no specific daily limit on the number of transactions.
No. Even though cannabis is legal in Michigan, it remains illegal at the federal level. Transporting cannabis across state lines is a federal offense regardless of whether both states have legalized it. This includes driving to Ohio, Indiana, or flying out of any airport. Consume or store your products within Michigan only.
Cannabis can be consumed in private residences or on private property with the property owner's permission. Public consumption — including parks, sidewalks, restaurants, and bars — is not permitted unless the establishment holds a cannabis consumption lounge license. You also cannot consume cannabis in a motor vehicle, even as a passenger. Some Michigan cities have licensed cannabis consumption lounges — check local listings for options near you.
You must be 21 years of age or older with a valid government-issued photo ID to enter a recreational cannabis provisioning center in Michigan.
Payment & Ordering
Because cannabis is still classified as a Schedule I substance at the federal level, major credit card networks (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) do not allow cannabis transactions. Most cannabis retailers, including Herbal Solutions, accept cash and debit cards. We have an ATM on-site for your convenience.
