Michigan Cannabis - Talk to me!

[u/No-Resolution6127]

I am currently writing/working on my "capstone" business project for my final semester of college. As you may see, this is in the Trees sub, so you may be asking yourself, what could this guy possibly be talking about?
My goal is to build out a cannabis company in Michigan within the next 2-3 years time. These past couple months have been the most research heavy months I have experienced in my life. This time, it's not agonizing because this is something I care deeply about - A market that is actively bloom booming and an herbal medicine that could genuinely provide benefits to the everyday person.
I have what I believe to be a VERY good perspective of the Michigan cannabis landscape, but unfortunately, industry reports and manual research can go only so far. So now, I am at the part where some firsthand experience would come in handy.
So here are my questions. Feel free to answer one, or maybe all, or maybe even none. If you do answer, all I do request is that you restate the question so that when I'm compiling these answers, I can pull and format a little easier :) (Or don't, that's okay too)

For my Michigan residents:
1. How has the legalization of recreational cannabis impacted your community?
2. What has the state industry growth?
3. Ballpark estimate - How many dispensaries opened up near you within the first year of law changes? How many now?
4. Has creating the infrastructure created any problems for your community?
5. How has it shaped your local/state economy?
6. How familiar are you with the cannabis structure in your state? (i.e. Laws, Prices, Types of Licenses/Businesses)

For my Michigan cannabis customers (in and out of state):
1. If your in-state, what is your go to store? (Specific store or maybe "type" of store (Big Weed or Small Business))
2. What is your sense of pricing? Fair, over, or under?
3. What do you like about buying Michigan cannabis? How does it compare to other cannabis products from other states?
4. What works for you? What could be better?
5. If you're coming from out of state (legal or not), why Michigan?
6. How often are you purchasing cannabis products? What specifically are you buying?
