Legal Weed Is Failing in Michigan

A private jet lands at a small regional airport in Michigan after a long flight from Colorado. On board the plane, executives in suits speak together in hushed tones. They disembark, each carrying a small potted plant, one still illegal to transport across state lines. They personally carry their cargo to their fleet of Black SUVs and don’t stop until they’ve reached their industrial weed farm. The plants rest under the purple grow lights, waiting for the tests to begin.

Corporate cannabis is desperate, and they’ll do anything to stay in business. Shareholders will be pleased to hear the executive boards have such dedication.

It also includes turning the entire state into a gaudy carnival with weed stores on every corner. Rural areas are overwhelmed with giant weed warehouses. It’s all neon lights, purple buildings, bad music, worse mascots—eyesores as far as the eye can see. Even the skies aren’t safe, with every major sporting event in Michigan now subjected to small armadas of Cessnas towing weed store banners behind them.
