Hello,

Michigan does recognize patients from other medical marijuana states. You will need your California medical marijuana card or doctor's recommendation.

Thanks,

thanks for the info. buying two tickets right now.

*Edit: Tickets bought, i will be attending for sure. Planning on getting there for both saturday and sunday night and going in as soon as the football games are over; both days.

I should have a VXC in hand, SM55 is planning on expressing me hit personal unit for another round. This particular unit is the same one he has been using at the dispensaries for other FC members. It has a history behind it.

ok so heres what i got to say:

they have a sign there that says no medicating on site due to the detroit police dept coming in and saying thats the rules.

when we were there, george clinton was walking around the outdoor section where they have the different dispensaries. there was 1 dude that packed him something out of an ice bong with a dirty silicone tube that everyone was sharing. when it was finally my turn, the guy lighting it was "its cached"...so he didnt repack & i didnt ask for it. that was the only non-cigarette smoking that i saw. i bought a couple different strains from a few tents and some edibles. there were really not that many outrageously cool vendors. ganjar was one, and another glass jar product (where you can write on it with a permanent marker and has the sticker that says "hello my name is ____"). the also had a soil and lighting booths, some sweatshirts, a few glass things (pipes, bongs, etc).

i forgot the names of the strains i got & theres nothing labeled. one is white widow for sure...i forgot the others. but $35, $45, $55 per 1/8th. $10 & $19 per grams. edibles ranged from $2 - $10 for cakes, capsules, jolly ranchers, brownies, rice krispy treats, chapsticks, salves, candies, muffins, tinctures, and even chocolate/strawberry milk!

so you gotta take everything home & try it, but lucky for us, we live just down the street from it!

so there ya go, im going back tomorrow to do some last chance shopping!

im also going to the VIP afterparty in an hour or so...
