Arbors Wellness

Independent & Local Dispensary

321 East Liberty St
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Arbors Wellness offers both medical and recreational cannabis and is an independent and stand-alone dispensary. This said, if you are looking to be a better earth steward and want organic weed, this is not your place. They seem not to carry organic flower, and it did not feel like this was any kind of priority for them. My budtender did not seem to be well-informed about weed.

Be prepared, you must show your ID before you can get in the door. And, in cold Michigan weather, if you are not prepared, you’ll be out in the elements trying to find your government ID (like I was). At least you will be under an awning if it’s snowing or raining. They say this is MI law, but I don’t think it needs to be this way. For the comfort of their clients, they could build an inside entryway, like most all other dispensaries.

What’s Near this Dispensary

Jerusalem Garden

You’re directly across the street from Jerusalem Garden, a casual middle eastern restaurant, service a fabulous falafel with hummus if that’s your thing. The lentil soup is great, as well. Hard to beat the falafel with hummus and a lentil soup combo.

Afternoon Delight

Afternoon Delight is also on Liberty, just a few doors west at fifth, across from the post office. Afternoon Delight is only open for breakfast and lunch. It’s cafeteria-style and a good place to get a quick bite to eat.

Knight’s Steakhouse

Knight’s Steakhouse, at the corner of Liberty & State, is one of Ann Arbor’s institutions. This location (one of two) is a bit newer, but the same great food. Plus, Knight’s is well known for its exceptionally generous drinks. (Knight’s twitter handle is @StrongDrinks.)

Sava’s

Sava’s is a bit more upscale but still casual. This is Ann Arbor after all. Sava’s is up State St, north towards Huron. It’s a limited menu, but there’s something for everyone. Sava’s is the first restaurant of Sava Farah, one of Ann Arbor’s leading restaurateurs.

Ginger Deli

Ginger Deli offers a delicious Vietnamese lunch, generally open from 11 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday. Ginger Deli offers freshly baked bread and seasonal foods. The Pho is great!

Sweets

Le Bon Macaron

For a treat, you really should visit Le Bon Macaron. Le Bon Macaron is a family business and if you are in the mood for something sweet (and after a dispensary visit and a bit of a buzz who doesn’t), this is your place to visit.

Axe Throwing

Axe throwing at Axe Ventura is just around the corner on Maynard. Axe throwing is a blast! Grab a few friends and make a date to try it out. They have two locations, one right here and the other in Findlay Oh.

Theater

This is one of the closest dispensaries to some of Ann Arbor’s great venues. You’ll find Arbors Wellness is just a short walk from:

The Michigan Theater & The State Theater. Catch a movie after you pick up your weed!
Hill Auditorium (live presentations). Reserve some tickets ahead. Hill always has something great to offer.

You’re in the thick of downtown Ann Arbor, you’ll find plenty of great shopping. Here’s a list of some of Ann Arbor’s unique and independent stores.

BYOC Co

BYOC Co (Bring your own container) is new to downtown Ann Arbor in 2021. I love this store, where you can find locally sourced, eco-friendly home and personal products. As its name suggests, you can bring your own container (but they have various sizes available for purchase) for refills. Located in the lower level of Liberty Plaza.

Kanbu Asian Market

Kanbu Asian Market at 249 E. Liberty has a nice selection of reasonably-priced Asian grocery items. A good selection in a small footprint and worth the visit if you’re looking for Asian grocery products.

Around the corner, on Fourth Street:

Ferne Boutique

Ferne Boutique (right next door to Today Clothing) carries ‘effortless style’, women’s clothes in sizes XS – 3X. Ferne is a fabulous place to shop for gifts.

Today Clothing

Today Clothing, a men’s clothing store (right next door to Ferne) always has the best-looking shoes in its window. Besides the very cool shoes, they carry pants, shirts, jackets, and accessories like hats and wallets.

Real Irish

Real Irish is the store for you if you’re looking for authentic Irish anything. From women’s and men’s clothes to household items you’ll find the real deal here. A perfect place to find that perfect gift.

Dear Golden

Dear Golden is a blend of vintage, one-of-a-kind items and modern (new) clothes for women. You can find a nice selection of apothecary items, from CBD to face masks to mushroom tinctures. They also carry vintage quilts and pretty cool gifts.

Literati Bookstore

Literati Bookstore is a must-visit bookstore if you are anywhere in downtown Ann Arbor. They are an award-winning independent bookstore. Award-winning with reason. They have broken the mold with plenty of author events and more. Don’t forget to get a coffee at the coffee shop upstairs!

Underground Sounds

If you’re a vinyl music lover, you may want to check out Underground Sounds at 120 E Washington Street. They have over 10,000 vinyl records and CDs in stock. Word of warning, no need to email them, they won’t answer – call instead. They buy, sell, and trade used vinyl records as well.

Davinci IQ2 Review

I love my Davinci IQ2 vaporizer. It has a nice balanced weighted feeling that makes you feel like you've got something special in your hand. It's satiny to the touch. Davinci has made a vaporizer that is easy to love. This cannabis flower vaporizer, the Davinci IQ2,...
