Glazed and Confused is a Mom and Pop run Marijuana Retailer. It was established in 2018 by Dan and Jackie Rosek. Their desire to share their knowledge of the benefits of marijuana and to help create a community to reduce the stigmas of marijuana became the challenge that they wanted to pursue.

After years of being a medical marijuana caregiver and seeing the relief, physically and mentally, that was given to many by using marijuana it was only natural to want to be able to provide that relief to as many as we could.

When Michigan voted to allow for recreational use of Marijuana, it was go time. A local supper club that had sat vacant for several years right on the border seemed like the perfect location. A large bar where we could sit and chat with customers about products and Strains. A large dining area that could be a showroom for all the products and a kitchen??? complete with deep fryers. Yes it was outdated. There was gross carpet in the bar, smoke on the walls, and paneling for days but to provide the relief so many were looking for it would be worth the blood, sweat, tears, and hardships to get to where we are today.

Maybe you heard about this place just over the border in Michigan that sold artwork and you were gifted marijuana, or Perhaps you have stopped at Glazed and Confused seeing our Sleepy Doughnut guy and thinking, Hmmm Donuts.

Our first year open was a trip. The laws were very new and although it was legal to consume marijuana getting it was a new challenge for many. After much discussion with various individuals and professionals, we determined we were willing to take the risk and open as a gift shop, selling wooden artwork that you received a free gift with. Feb 15, 2018 was our first day open and it snowed a good 8” but that didn’t stop the curiosity and once the word got out it spread like a wildfire.

We were growing and growing fast but we could sense there was change coming and on July 3rd, 2018 Michigan came out with the emergency rules on recreational marijuana. We had hoped Michigan would follow other states and allow those that were gift shops to transition to a licensed establishment, but upon reading the emergency rules it did not appear that way. We made the difficult decision to close the gift shop. We would not open the next day even though we had just had our best day ever and more customers than we had ever imagined.

Would we be able to do it? Would we be able to get through the licensing? Or would they hold our gift shop against us as it stated in their emergency rules? Would we have enough money to meet their licensing requirements? The stakes were getting higher now.

The licensing process was just that, a process that required a lot of paperwork, background checks, and general bureaucracy. To help improve our customer experience and keep us busy while waiting for approvals we remodeled what we could in the supper club, unveiling a unique history of the building, in which we learned that Dan’s great grandfather had built the bench and slat wall in the bar area for the supper club, that are still there today.

We received our first approval from the State of Michigan in our licensing in Feb 2019 only weeks later to have Covid begin. We had to ask ourselves, Do we continue with our licensing and open amidst a global pandemic putting ourselves, our family, our staff and their families and our customers at risk of infecting each other? Do we wait and hope we can sustain for a while until things calm down? Would we even be allowed to open? Is marijuana considered essential??

As Covid was still in the forefront of everyone's minds we created a plan to open for curbside service. We waited as long as we could afford, to submit the final application to receive our licenses. And in Jan 2020, with the help of business associates, the return of some gift shop employees and the hiring of new employees we were open for business again.

Our goal is to provide our customers with the knowledge they need to find the marijuana products to get the relief they are looking for. The marijuana industry is growing rapidly and new benefits of marijuana all are being discovered. We want to make sure that our customers understand how the various products can help them. We want to provide the best experience at our store and when you use your products on your own time. Knowledge is power and once you have the knowledge to make informed purchases, your purchasing experience only becomes easier, faster and more enjoyable.
