What you'll get each week

📉
License changes Summary of CRA violations and enforcement actions, plus weekly changes to license counts across grow, retail, and processor categories. Pulled from the CRA database so you can track market activity over time.
💲
Tax and pricing Treasury updates, new price lists, anything related to the 24% wholesale tax. It's easy to miss this stuff and it matters a lot.
📰
Relevant news I skip the press releases and grand openings. If it doesn't affect how you run your grow, it's not in here.
🔬
Research worth reading Once a month I dig into new studies on crop steering, cannabinoid production, and cultivation. The actual papers, not vendor marketing.

Here's a sample

Sample from May 14, 2026

📉 Ascend Wellness Closing Lansing Grow — 94 Layoffs

AWH is permanently closing its grow operation at 735 E. Hazel St. in Lansing on June 26, laying off 94 workers. The facility holds 5 Class C grow licenses — up to 7,500 plants of legal capacity leaving the market. The closure follows a Christmas Day 2025 fire. No building permits on file for reconstruction.

⚡ Why it matters

That's a big MSO pulling out of mid-Michigan. Between the 24% wholesale tax and falling retail prices, more grows are going to close. If you're still running, that's less competition down the road.

📊 Market Snapshot

Class C Growers (AU): 805 · Class B Growers: 71 · Retailers: 831
No license status changes this week, but watch for those 5 Ascend licenses to flip to Closed.

These tools exist because I needed them. I'm Eric, commercial grower and software engineer in Michigan. I built Growgoyle to run my own facility and these calculators are just a piece of it. If you're running a grow and want to talk shop, text me.
