Arts Beats and Eats features area for marijuana sales and consumption for 1st time

For the first time there is an area for marijuana smokers to buy some cannabis to go along with the food, visuals and tunes.

Non-compliant sales, packaging problems, and issues with security were among the reasons that fines were dished out to dozens of dispensaries and other marijuana-based businesses around Michigan this September.

Pot shops in Warren, Detroit, Inkster, Ann Arbor, and Hamtramck made up just some of the licensed retailers of marijuana and packaging companies that were penalized.

According to the Cannabis Regulatory Agency, some companies that were cited received multiple fines for improper retail practices.
