Lounges may allow smoking, vaping, edibles, and concentrates. Some restrict smoking/vaping to designated ventilated areas or offer separate rooms. Ventilation requirements are strict — think cigar bar with serious HVAC.
Most lounges serve non-infused food and drinks. Michigan law prohibits alcohol sales at cannabis consumption venues. Expect mocktails, coffee, snacks, and cannabis-infused beverages.

Consumption lounges are still rolling out across Michigan. The first wave is concentrated in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and other larger cities. Monroe and smaller communities may follow as local ordinances catch up. Check the Michigan CRA's licensing database for current approved locations.
