Best dispensaries in Grand Rapids

Why is the order not just star rating?

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the Michigan mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.

Is every Grand Rapids dispensary here?

Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Michigan.

Why do some entries have no brand list?

Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.

How often is this rechecked?

Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
