Federal drug agents raided a Brighton Township business Tuesday because they believe it’s a marijuana dispensary, the business owner said.
But the business owner says it’s not so.
Jeff Mote, owner of Grow Green MI at 5079 Canterbury Road, said Drug Enforcement Administration agents and Michigan State Police “took a bunch of records.” He said they did not find marijuana because his business is not a dispensary, but a grow shop selling gardening supplies.
“They said they thought there was marijuana leaving the building,” Mote said. “They took a bunch of records, basically, and they said we’d hear from them in the near future. I’m not sure what to make of it.”
Mote said he was questioned by police for three hours and then returned to his business. He declined to say what he was asked.
“It’s all growing supplies. I’ve got to settle myself down,” he said. “We’re not a dispensary. We’re selling equipment, lights (and) tubing.”
Richard Isaacson, a DEA spokesman, confirmed the search warrant was executed around 10:45 a.m., but he declined to release additional information due to the ongoing investigation.
Mote said his business has been in the Brighton area for four years.
According to its website, Grow Green MI’s staff includes horticulture specialists, microbiology and genetics professionals from Michigan State University and master electricians, plumbers and heating-and-cooling experts.
Its services include grow-room design layout, energy audits, alternative growing methods and certified water testing. Its retail store offers hydroponics systems, replacement lamps, nutrient, additives and green gadgets.
