On December 4, 2018, Michigan officially became the 10th state in the United States to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use. Since then, Gage Cannabis a leading vertically integrated operator in the cannabis industry led by former CEO and Chairman of Canopy Growth Corp. Bruce Linton, has sought to focus on the Michigan market, with the stated ambition of building the fastest-growing cannabis brand in the state.
Gage Cannabis has witnessed a rapid growth trajectory since its inception, having opened its first medical provisioning center (dispensary) in the state of Michigan in 2019. Since then, the company has seen its retail footprint expand to five medical or adult-use locations, with plans to operate 20+ locations by the end of 2021. Gage Cannabis has simultaneously sought to complement its retail distribution network with a swiftly expanding cultivation operation—one which has focused on producing small-batch, indoor-grown, and hand-trimmed plants designed to ensure that every gram of cannabis sold is of the highest quality.
Currently, the company boasts three operational cultivation sites, located at Monitor Township, Harrison Township, and Warren while operating one processing facility located in the Harrison Township.
