The Hive 21630 John R., Hazel Park; thehivemichigan.com A small, woman-owned dispensary in Hazel Park, the Hive is the only one on this list that has a Class A cannabis microbusiness, which allows it to grow up to 300 cannabis plants and operate a retail store in the same space. Owned by Dana Elgie, the Hive is the state’s first woman-owned Class A cannabis microbusiness. The dispensary shares its building with B.D.T. smoke shop at 21630 John R, which is owned by Elgie’s father, Curtis Goure, and has served stoners with marijuana paraphernalia like bongs, rolling papers, and tie-dye T-shirts since 1973. By focusing on a relatively small grow, the Hive can dial in on its plants, making it easier to adjust the environment, check for problems, and make sure the flower is at peak quality. It’s no wonder the quality of the Hive’s products is reliably exceptional. For such a small grow, the number of strains is impressive. They include Hash Bee OG, Headstash #1, Ice Creature, Lemon Cookies, Party Runtz, Permanent Marker, Superboof, Pink Zoap, Royal Runtz, Sherb Cream Pie, and Strawberry Coffinz. The Hive is also constantly adding new strains. The flower is available in the deli and prerolls. But the dispensary isn’t limited to just the Hive’s brands. The dispensary also offers infused flower, edibles, vape cartridges, live resin and rosin, THC-infused drinks, and topicals. It also boasts deli-style rosin, which allows customers to glance at the consistency and maybe take a whiff. You can’t do that with most rosin that comes in sealed jars.
