Navigating Zoning Challenges For Detroit Cannabis Shops

Michigan’s cannabis market, the largest in the U.S. by sales volume, has grown significantly since recreational use was legalized in late 2018. Detroit, however, faced challenges in zoning for marijuana businesses, leading many to open just outside the city limits. The new cafe represents a significant step in integrating more cannabis businesses within Detroit’s community fabric.

Furthermore, Wake-N-Bakery’s use of Delta-9 THC, derived from hemp, makes it a unique player in the market. This legality under federal law, despite state restrictions, provides a loophole for consumers in more stringent states, further setting the establishment apart from competitors.

Wake-N-Bakery’s debut, expected in the upcoming weeks, is contingent on city approval.
