It’s summertime! If you’re like us, you’re stoked to enjoy the sunshine in Ann Arbor…and there’s no better time to enjoy a little green than in the sun.
We collected some of our favorite indoor and outdoor cannabis events in the area for you to check out. If you’re into a road trip adventure, there’s a couple fun cannabis outings you can check out in Lansing and Morley.
Wacky Weed Tour
We can’t talk about Ann Arbor events without a shout out to the Wacky Weed Tour of Ann Arbor. It’s part history, part mystery, all laughs and lots of cannabis facts. Over the course of 2 hours, for $30, you’ll see up to 4 stores across Ann Arbor, with discounts available. See here to easily book a ticket!
Visit a local dispensaries
A dispensary for everyone, on every side of town. A2 has 27 dispensaries in town itself and 40 across Washtenaw County, as of two years ago. With so many options, you’re sure to find a vibe and products that click with you!
Make a playlist
Whether you’re just popping across town, or taking a full-blown road trip up north, check out a playlist themed to our favorite substance. A resident Ann Arbor connoisseur, Antonio Cooper, made a themed soundtrack on Spotify for you to enjoy here.
Get a CBD massage
Massage? Good. CBD? Good. Massage AND CBD? Good. Spavia Ann Arbor offers a variety of packages, but the one we’re interested in is the CBD one. You can do targeted relief with a CBD-infused cream, or do a Full Body Boost which incorporates CBD-infused oil for the entire massage, and also lets you target particular areas with the CBD cream.
Get green – with the outdoors
There’s nothing more perfect than a slight buzz that enhances your appreciation of nature. You, of course, can’t consume in public. But there’s nothing wrong with a lil microdose and a wander through some of Ann Arbor’s beautiful walking trails. Check out Bird Hills or the Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Cannabis always helps me slow down and truly appreciate the magic in the mundane around me.
Throw a picnic, solo or with friends.
Speaking of combining cannabis and the outdoors, what’s not to love about a picnic? Keep it simple with cheese and crackers — or go all-out with cold salads, lemonades and sandwiches. You can easily add THC or CBD to jams or sweets with cannabutter or tinctures.
Take a road trip
If you’re into a road trip, check out some of these unique options:
The Michigan Gems n Genetics Festival
This three-day event in June includes cultivation workshops for all skill levels; sought-after cannabis seed breeders dropping unique seeds; and live evening entertainment. It’s in Morley, June 13-15, and features a variety of camping options including a furnished cabin, a furnished camper, VIP bungalows, or rustic camping. There’s food trucks, vendors, arts, crafts and 25 DJs and bands.
CannaCon Midwest Lansing
This is the premier event for professionals and innovators in the cannabis industry, but it’s also a delightful event for people who are just passionate about cannabis. It’s July 18-19 in Lansing, with seminars, exhibitors, advanced equipment and more.
