HIGHLAND PARK, MI –
Michigan State Police say they busted a “large-scale illicit market” marijuana grow operation in metro Detroit.
After a months long investigation, the Michigan State Police Marijuana & Tobacco Investigation Section conducted a search warrant Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024 at the Highland Park facility.
The MSP Marijuana & Tobacco Investigation Section oversees marijuana criminal law and tax violations.
Growing illegal marijuana in Michigan is only a misdemeanor crime, the state Court of Appeals ruled last October, but unlicensed growers could face punishment for other crimes like tax evasion and the seizure of valuable marijuana.
