Dearborn has opted out of adult-use recreational marihuana establishments, so no licensed dispensaries may operate inside city limits.
Under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act, municipalities may opt out of hosting adult-use marihuana establishments, and the City of Dearborn has passed an ordinance prohibiting recreational marihuana retailers, growers, processors, secure transporters, safety compliance facilities, and microbusinesses within city limits. Medical marihuana provisioning centers are similarly not authorized under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act. Residents who wish to purchase cannabis must travel to neighboring communities that have opted in, such as Detroit, Hamtramck, or certain areas of Lincoln Park. Personal possession and home cultivation within state limits remain lawful in Dearborn. The opt-out status is periodically reviewed by City Council.
