Product types

Dried and cured cannabis buds, sold by weight. Common sizes are a gram, an eighth (3.5 g), a quarter (7 g), a half (14 g) and an ounce (28 g). Potency is shown as a percentage of THC and CBD by weight.

Flower ground and rolled in paper, ready to light. Some pre-rolls are infused with concentrate or coated in kief; the label lists what's inside and its THC and CBD percentage. Multi-packs list the weight of each pre-roll and the total.

Cartridges and all-in-one devices that heat cannabis oil instead of burning flower. The oil may be distillate, live resin or rosin, and potency is shown as a percentage. Cartridges need a compatible battery; all-in-ones have one built in.

Gummies, chocolates, drinks and other foods made with cannabis. Potency is shown in milligrams of THC per serving and per package rather than as a percentage. Michigan labels must state an activation time in words or as a pictogram — read it before you open the package, and ask a budtender if anything on the label is unclear.

Resin separated from the plant, such as hash, bubble hash, rosin, live resin, badder and shatter. Potency is shown as a percentage and is usually much higher than flower. Michigan counts no more than 15 grams of concentrate toward the 2.5-ounce carry limit.

Lotions, balms and similar products applied to the skin. The label shows the total milligrams of THC and CBD in the package.

Every Michigan cannabis label must show an activation time, in words or as a pictogram. That is the state's guidance for the product in your hand, and it is the one to follow.
