Michigan Cannabis Brands To Know Before You Shop In Pontiac

Pontiac dispensary menus can run past 200 products, and most first-timers buy whatever the budtender reaches for first. That’s not a terrible strategy. Knowing who makes what, and where, gets you a better match for less money.

Every gram sold in Michigan has to be grown, processed, and tested inside the state. Some brands on local shelves were born here. Others built a name in other states first and now produce in Michigan. Here are six worth knowing, what each does well, and how to shop them.

Where these Michigan cannabis brands come from

Here’s a quick reference before the details.

Six Michigan cannabis brands on Pontiac shelves

The list covers a range of Michigan cannabis brands and product types available in the Pontiac market.

Cali-Blaze

Cali-Blaze makes infused pre-rolls: joints packed with THCA or live resin and rolled in kief. The brand sells in more than 900 dispensaries across Michigan, Massachusetts, and Colorado.

In Pontiac, a Cali-Blaze pre-roll sells for around $5. That places it toward the lower-priced end of the infused pre-roll options described here. Go slow, because an infused joint hits much harder than a standard pre-roll.

Breeze Canna

Breeze launched in Michigan in 2022 with one pitch: a vape that works out of the box. There are no twist-on batteries and no pods. Every device goes through what the brand calls triple testing, and the lineup now tops 50 flavors across several collections.

Its all-in-one format may appeal to shoppers who prefer a vape that does not require separate batteries or pods.

Common Citizen

Common Citizen grows more than 60 strains at its greenhouse farm in Marshall, Michigan. The brand sorts products by mood instead of strain science, with four lines: Daily Dose, Sweet Relief, Time to Shine, and Unplug.

That setup gives first-time shoppers a relatively simple way to browse products by the experience the brand is trying to describe.

Cannalicious Labs

Cannalicious is locally owned and based in Pinconning, north of Bay City. The company focuses on full-spectrum extraction, and most people come for its RSO.

Traditional RSO tastes harsh. Cannalicious sells it in cherry, grape, and lime, which makes it far easier to take. The brand also makes flavored THC distillate in options like Blue Razz and Mint Chocolate.

Crude Boys

Crude Boys started as a side project by cannabis fans at Choice Labs who wanted good concentrates for friends and family. Choice Labs still makes the line at its Jackson facility.

The menu covers top-shelf concentrates, 510 cartridges, and infused flower with names like Moon Rocks, Tarantulas, and Caviar Joints. The brand’s motto, “complex flavors, crude intentions,” tells you what you’re getting. These products are strong and built for experienced users.

710 Labs

Flip “710” upside down and it reads “OIL,” which tells you where this brand’s heart is. 710 Labs built its name in Colorado on rare genetics, pheno-hunting, and terpene retention. It now grows everything in-house in Michigan in small batches.

710 Labs generally sits at the premium-priced end of the concentrate market. Two grams of live rosin batter can be priced substantially higher than many other concentrate options, depending on the retailer and current menu.

How to shop Michigan cannabis brands for less

To cut the bill without cutting quality:

1. Browse the online menu before you go and filter by brand.
2. Ask which brands are in this week’s deals, since brand promotions rotate.
3. Buy a single pre-roll or gram before committing to a larger amount of an unfamiliar strain.
4. Join the store’s rewards program so every visit counts toward a discount.
5. Ask about first-time customer discounts on your first visit.

The Quality Roots Pontiac cannabis dispensary at 41 Walton Boulevard stocks all six brands on this list and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. You can order online and pick up in store, which saves a wasted trip if a product sells out.

What to know before your first dispensary visit in Pontiac

Michigan’s rules are straightforward, but a few catch first-time shoppers off guard:

• You must be 21 or older with a valid state-issued photo ID or passport.
• You can buy up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis, or the equivalent in infused products, per transaction.
• You can consume only in a private residence or a licensed consumption lounge, and Pontiac has no lounges open right now.
• You can’t use cannabis in a car, a park, or on a sidewalk.
• You can pay with cash or debit.

If you’re comparing brands, review the product type, potency, ingredients, testing information, price, and current retailer availability before making a selection.
