Why Chicago Makes the Trip to Lawton

Chicago to Lawton is about 110 miles — roughly two hours east on I-94, the same road you take to New Buffalo and the beaches. Craft, house-grown flower at honest prices makes the stop more than worth it.

We are not a big-box chain. Ragged Wizard is a family-run Michigan craft grower and dispensary that has been in the game since the guerilla days. Our flower is grown hydroponically in our own Porter Township rooms, hand-trimmed, and pesticide-free — then priced so the trip from Chicago always pays for itself. And because we run a true drive-thru window, you can order ahead, roll up, and be back on the road in minutes.

Please note: Michigan recreational cannabis is for adults 21 and older. All products are intended to be purchased and consumed in Michigan in accordance with state law. Never drive impaired, and do not transport cannabis across state lines — that remains a federal offense.
