OMG this was august 19th.
CHARLEVOIX COUNTY -- A big pot bust in Charlevoix County took more than $300,000 of marijuana off the streets.
Tonight, the evidence room at the Charlevoix County Sheriff's Office is packed with weed after officers took more than 300 plants from an illegal grow operation in Boyne City.
The suspect, who hasn't been arraigned yet, lives on High Street near downtown Boyne City.
Undersheriff Chuck Vondra calls this the biggest bust his department has made in quite a while.
The officers also found equipment and substances used to cook narcotics and guns at the home and took a while to collect all of the plants.
"It took a very long time, and with Boyne City police and the Sheriff's Office, we were probably there for three to four hours, working the evidence in the case, and getting it back here to the evidence room," said Undersheriff Vondra.
Officers confiscated all of the plants including lights part of the grow operation and they say the suspect was selling the weed on the streets.
The suspect was arrested for manufacture of 45 kilograms of marijuana, two delivery charges of marijuana, two delivery charges of Xanax, possession of narcotics, and maintaining a drug house.
Also on Thursday, officers flew over parts of the county and found more than 350 plants growing outside.
Some were legitimate Medical Marijuana grow operations, but those that weren't were confiscated and the land-owners were arrested.

Someone is blowing smoke, if any names were obtained it was most likely from a dispensary raid or collective and heads are rolling. This is one of the potential changes that may happen but has not happened yet. The State Police do not have access to the registry and it would not hold up in court if they somehow obtained this information from the state. The best way to operate is to keep it legal and always be prepared, best of luck to everyone.

The box allows the authorities to confirm your identity and your enrollment to the database when your card is in their hand. They call the hotline, give them your number and they confirm your identity. Not saying there are no crooked politics happening here though, very well could be. But the database does not openly provide authorities with information, it is used to confirm your status within the law i.e. number of plants, patients, caregivers, card expiration, usable material etc.
Schuette wants to change all of that and hand it to the cops though! We need to stop him from slaughtering our rights.

I hear you man, Schuette has a real hardon to repeal the whole mother fucker. Lets not make it easy on them! With the dispensaries out hopefully things will chill out for awhile but I'm pretty sure they're already working on new legislation to vote on.
They're pushing for quite a few changes.
