"Detroit Watch" is a monthly column appearing in the Michigan Cannabis Industries Report, authored by Larry Gabriel.
Detroit is Michigan's largest city, and the metro Detroit area is the largest population center in the region. Even so, mainsream media tends to ignore Detroit and the surrounding communities unless they have something bad to write about. The Report takes a much more respectful view on the happenings surrounding Michigan's largest concentration of medical marijuana patients, and we recruited an excellent individual to write about their successes and challenges. Larry Gabriel has been commenting on local and statewide cannabis issues on a bi-weekly basis for years and is well known to many of our readers already.
The column first appeared in the September 2018 issue of The Report.
