The cannabis industry in Michigan is picking up speed with a wave of adult-use and medical businesses expected to enter the market in the years to come. All legal businesses will require real estate that’s primed and zoned for cannabis cultivation, sale, and processing.  

Commercial cannabis real estate agents will constantly need to be at the top of their game. They can compete for the limited number of listings or proactively go beyond what’s available in the market and identify potential real estate in municipalities that have opted in to allow the establishment of adult-use and medical marihuana facilities.  

So, when it comes to finding cannabis zoned properties in Michigan, getting leads about who’s selling what at the moment and what can qualify as a cannabis facility in the future are mighty important. Today’s list features websites that you can use to view available cannabis listings as well as resources that can be used to carry out in-depth zoning research:
