Pontiac's first cannabis shop, Kulture 81, has officially opened in Pontiac, Michigan, following years of delays. The shop was founded by David Parker, co-founder of the company, who chose Pontiac for the opportunity and wanted to invest in a community that is rebuilding. The opening comes nearly eight years after the state approved medical marijuana sales and two years after Pontiac approved a ballot proposal for recreational sales. The owners are eager to partner with neighboring businesses in an effort to revitalize the area and help with the revitalization of downtown Pontiac.
