Former caregivers offer unique strains as holiday season approaches

"Kalkaska’s Real Leaf Solutions has developed a reputation for growing some of the state’s most unique and sought-after strains, and its latest batch of Mac N’ Cheese is certainly one of them. These large, fluffy buds had a pungently pleasant skunky, piney and cheesy sort of smell that carried over into an incredibly tart flavor profile with bright hints of mango and lemongrass. A few hits gave way to a mentally uplifting but physically sedating type of high that seemed to lean toward the indica rather than the sativa side of the typical effects spectrum. I found this strain to be a perfect pairing with some video games to unwind after work on Friday."

The state’s largest corporate cannabis companies – the ones who joined together to form the Michigan Cannabis Manufacturers Association – are trying to use their high-powered lobbyists to grow their market share by changing the law to eliminate caregivers altogether. Their proposed legislation was written entirely by their group without input from the rest of the licensed industry, or caregivers and the patients they serve. To them, creating laws that make it more difficult for caregivers to operate is good business regardless of what harm it causes to patients.
