JARS Cannabis was in the process of buying out former owner and manager of Green Culture, Pat Kanouno, when Flint’s busiest dispensary was shut down by the CRA last November. The dispensary lawyer Josh Hovey says it’s “for reasons that included allegedly selling industrial hemp that was over the legal THC limit and issues related to incorrectly tagged cannabis products.”
This issue was exacerbated by the CRA’s interest in banning deli-style cannabis flower sales, as reviewed as a topic last June in a public forum meeting by the regulatory agency. Members of the cannabis community came out hard against the idea. Green Culture was well known for bulk flower sales done in this fashion, as well as providing excellent service to veterans and people with disabilities.
