The Oakland County Sheriff implementation in Narcotics

Narcotics The Oakland County Sheriff implementation team raided three businesses and homes and confiscated 12 marijuana Wednesday, $ 30,000 in cash, firearms, grow lights, patient records and two crocodiles guard, authorities said Thursday.

Prosecutors allege that operators of emergency clinics in Ferndale and all Coffee and herbal remedies, in Waterford, surpassing the number of people who could supply medical marijuana and provide drugs to people without proper documentation .

"You can not sell to anyone other than designated five patients," said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper Thursday at a news conference. A two-month investigation found the stores were selling a dozen, he said.

"This is Michigan. This is not a Cheech and Chong movie," Oakland County, said Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

The operators pledged to fight the charges.

"What we do is legal," said Ryan Richmond, co-owner of the Relief clinics, who said their partner was in jail. "What they did with the raid was illegal."

Legal experts said the attacks could lead to a confrontation in court between prosecutors, who want to reduce their health care operations of marijuana, and those who want the new industry to grow outdoors.

The Oakland County authorities said the raid resulted in the arrest of 15 agents, employees and customers, and following an investigation into drug trafficking and alleged abuses of the Medical Marijuana Act of Michigan.

By law, people with licenses may possess up to 2 oz half of the pot. They have to suffer long-term pain, nausea or epilepsy or illnesses such as cancer, glaucoma and AIDS. Patients can grow pot or appoint someone else to. The law, however, does not mention whether patients or caregivers can buy it in clinics.

During the press conference, Bouchard displayed what he said is about $ 750,000 worth of marijuana seized in the raids, including plants, hundreds of bottles of marijuana and lots of bags filled with marijuana and marijuana laced brownies, cookies and candies.
