Detroit dispensary owner banned from selling weed after more than a dozen violations

This is about The Reef dispensary, probably the one of the first and largest in the “D”

A complaint received by the CRA in October 2022 alleged the business had been selling marijuana to unauthorized individuals. Officials followed up on the complaint in November for an unannounced visit and found more than a dozen other violations.

The violations range from not accurately tracking transactions, selling marijuana products not recorded by the state, and consuming food and drinks in the same place where the marijuana products are stored and processed.

Clark Street joins Candid Labs, Klean Herbal Solutions and Pharmaco on the voluntary exclusion list.

According to a complaint filed by the CRA, officials that visited the dispensary found several issues in the back storage room, ranging from products that lack proper labeling, loose flower on trays, and multiple instances of the owner contaminating product while he was rolling pre-rolled joints.

He also admitted to changing the strain name on some weed products from Banana Runtz to Grinch Mints “due to the holiday season”, which is against state policy.

Even the eligible need to be investigated. The Coroprate Elites used poor minorities to game the system, as they always do everywhere, to take out licenses.

They not only used craiglist they took homeless people off the streets and used them to secure licenses.

there would still be a possibility of the federal government suing the state if it allowed such sales to proceed.

They just cracked down on Georgia for selling oil in pharmacies.

I don’t see how they thought interstate commerce was going to happen with the current federal position
An after though, Cali is already exporting a massive amount to other states :joy:

thanks to Phylos Bioscience, a breeding company based in Oregon that developed cannabis plants that can test over 20% THCV by weight, according to test results shared with SFGATE by Phylos. That’s a previously unheard-of potency for THCV cannabis.

Organigram has exclusive Canadian rights to all THCV cultivars from Phylos, including Get S**t Done (1:3 THC:THCV) and Joyride (1:1 THC:THCV), two popular cultivars with THCV concentrations that are significantly higher than anything else currently available in the market. Phylos has developed, and continues to develop, proprietary high-THCV genetics in various THC:THCV ratios

“Billion-dollar companies and conglomerates are the only people who can have a say in Florida law,” Barnhart told the paper. She added that she hopes Trulieve or another company will sponsor a homegrow initiative for 2026 as a gesture of goodwill to patients.

I would not hold my breath for Trulieve to help home growers.

I figured they were doing it as a placeholder in the hopes federal legalization might come soon… harebrained to think the state could just go ahead and authorize interstate sales.
