I hear there was someone that worked there selling clones, if so that might have been the problem.

An employee selling clones would not justify the seizure of business records per a warrant though. I still have heard nothing more

mabe mr coke owed them money also

 

[ProfessorPotSnob]

I have yet to buy anything more from them at this point in time as I second thought it and decided to wait . Besides they are not dropping the price on the Botanicare Kind line just yet in bulk , once they do I ll buy some buckets of it

like you said its not illegal but they arnt law enforcement officers. they don't go after people for breaking the law they go after people for being stupid. I've never ordered 50 lights or pallets of dirt and Im way behind on makin any money with this racket either. if they go raid a bunch of people like me with a couple lights and not much going on then ya il be saying FUCK THESE GUYS but i doubt thats what they are going to do.

they want the people who get greedy and are stupid and order big ole piles of shit. in there eyes even 1 plant is illegal federally but they are WAY TO BUSY to run around and grab every grower just for trying to get by. they want the guys being dumb shits buying all kinds of stuff and avoiding taxes and other fun crimes. the people sneaking around and what not. like you said your not doing anything illegal but actually in there eyes you are, just not illegal enough for them to care. thats my point these guys obviously did something to get on the feds radar. you don't end up in there sights by operating a kosher set up.

out in brighton there are a lot of rich rich rich rich rich rich rich people that are fuckin jackasses some dumbshit rich old guy probably got busted by the feds cause he was running his mouth bout his 100k grow op and thats where he bought his shit. who knows all conjecture once again. but I've spent a lot of time in brighton and you got 2 types of people mainly. Boho stoner artsy spoiled type and FUCKHEAD rich corvette revving the motor type. (nothing against vettes and cars and whatnot you know the guys I'm talking bout) both are not the best operators in my opinion at anything in life. just my 2 cents again take it all with a grain

Boy you don't know much about Brighton or it's people do you? LOL. Wow....

Tru dat, Livingston County is tough Although the warrant was DoJ/DEA/federal I do believe

I would think the press would have access to the warrant by now, even if by the Freedom of Information act?

These alphabet boy assclowns are only more of a danger to our community now more than ever. With their entire leadership chain strung out in corruption and scandals there will be no oversite or accountability what so ever in the field

 

[TheMan13]

Anyone else thinking all of these medical marijuana raids over the past few weeks are related? Seems very odd that the DEA has not been publicly noted in any of these recent raids.

 

[VaporTrail]

I call it the domino effect 1 person gets busted and narcs out 2 people they know, those 2 narc out 4 they know and so on, and so on. These raids are going to increase just watch BS.

 

[TheMan13]

These raids are getting pretty scary given the lack of government accountability and transparency combined with the rampant corruption found today. Last week they hit the Jackson/Battle Creek areas and this week Wayne and Oakland counties. Who's next Flint or Lansing?

Although the DEA has not publicly been involved here, I am beginning to think that their GrowGreenMI financial record seizure (5-7-13) and the data mining of same may be related to all these raids and their "seven month investigation".

I have yet to learn the main target of last weeks raids, but this weeks may be John Semma who's properties out in Walled Lake were raided a couple years back. Anyone else have any thoughts here?

Medical Marijuana Advocates 32730 Northwestern Hwy Farmington Hills in Oakland County was raided on 4/28/13 for a supposed 3000$ judgement over not paying an outdoor sign company. Seems implausible that this minor judgement led to a raid and confiscation of everything in these dr's offices.

This place did more mmj scripts than any other place that I have heard of. Many patient/caregiver records (1000s upon 1000s) were compromised through this forfeiture process. If an agency wanted to data-mine this would be one hell of a list along with the Grow Green sales records database.

Thats why they didnt answer their phone when I called for a renewal. Makes sense.

Hmmm Is this not a clear violation of HIPAA laws where MJ patients and caregivers are involved? Or is that just another civil right denied to the undesirable here just like gun ownership?!?

 

[DabberDude]

I just came here to say: don't shop at grow green. Owners a total jerk and treats customers like criminals. This is the only business that has ever told me to go spend my money elsewhere. Glad he gave me my money back I don't wanna find out what happens in the event I need to do a return. Buy from grow green at your own risk!

Listen to dude...
/// had an incident myself w em a few yrs back.
And now the security compromise. //so nogonomoroadsighhs

 

[ThatGuy113]

Lol I have to pick up a light I ordered a while back tomorrow. I've never had a issue but I do wonder how he can price roots for half the price of anywhere else. Cuts my soil mix costs by so much but it does make me question things.
