SHIAWASSEE COUNTY — Michigan regulators on Friday, Feb. 3, indefinitely shut down a Shiawassee County marijuana processing business accused of possessing untagged cannabis products.
The Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) suspended Candid Labs’ licenses that allow it to process marijuana products for the recreational and medical marijuana markets.
“Based on its investigation of the conduct alleged in the formal complaints, the CRA determined that the safety or health of patrons or employees is jeopardized by Candid Labs’ continued operation and that the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action,”the CRA said.
The business, which operates under the name Layercake Farms 2 at 1850 Parmenter in Corunna, is located about 30 miles west of Flint. It also has at least eight active medical marijuana grow licenses that allow for up to 12,000 marijuana plants.
It’s the company’s grow facility that initially caught the CRA’s attention. The business notified the CRA that its required video surveillance system was “malfunctioning during its harvest,” the CRA complaint said.
Inspectors visited the business on Oct. 6 and found 38 cameras were “inoperable and showing black screens,” a statement issued by the CRA said. An employee told inspectors the problem was caused by rats that chewed through the wires.
While on site, inspectors looked into the processing facility that is located at the same address, the CRA said.
“CRA staff observed five tall, cylindrical glass jars with green lids each labeled with ‘Labyrinth Xtracts Ultra Fine Distillate Oil’ and a ‘Hempire State Growers Hudson Valley New York’ sticker inside” a storage trailer, the agency said. Inspectors “observed that the tall cylindrical jars were filled to the top with what appeared to be marijuana distillate and were without Metrc tags.”

Richard Bennaugh, 38, is charged with manslaughter, assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, and possession of a firearm as someone convicted of a violent felony, show from Prince George’s County show.
A migrant who was jailed over a cannabis farm worth half a million pounds has been granted permission to stay in the UK after successfully arguing he could not be deported as he no longer spoke his native language.
Clirim Kukaj, 30, is ethnically Albanian but was born and brought up in Serbia until at the age of 13 he entered Britain illegally. Seven years later he was granted indefinite leave to remain.
Kukaj and his lawyers have now successfully appealed his deportation on the grounds that returning him to his native country would be a breach of his human rights because he cannot speak the language and can only converse in Albanian.
Immigrational tribunal judge Fiona Lindsley granted the appeal ‘on human rights grounds’, however, the decision has sparked renewed calls for human rights laws to be reconsidered.
A senior Conservative MP told theTelegraph: ‘This demonstrates why we need urgent reform of the asylum system and human rights laws to allow the rapid and effective deportation of dangerous criminals.’
Here at CLR we love nothing more than getting a Happy Mondays reference into a story and I’d happily argue the point that somewhere in here there’s a direct link running from Sean Ryder all the way through to Elon Musk.
This latest Elon drama reminds us of the time Shaun Ryder’s massive drug consumption scuppered their album 4th Yes please! and brought down Factory records in the process and sent various Talking Heads members on the first plane back to New York.
When you read thie Quietus review of the making of the album it doesn’t look too far from the state of X and other Musk ventures in January 2024!
Happy Mondays started 1992 in a very dark place and things only got darker as the year progressed. Their stand alone single, ‘Judge Fudge’, had only made an unimpressive 24 in the UK charts at the end of 1991, and a shockingly homophobic interview with the NME at the start of the year left an enduringly nasty impression of a band once seen as the popular heroes of rave.
By the end of 1992 the band’s label, iconic Manchester imprint Factory, had gone into administration, leaving the band unloved and out of pocket, while Shaun Ryder struggled with his various addictions. Karen Pierce, who interviewed Shaun for The Independent in October 1992, mentioned rumours that he was “sick, very sick”, adding that she half expected a call from his management saying, “It’s too late, the heroin got to him first.”
Between those two points came Yes Please!, the Happy Mondays’ fourth studio album. It has entered into popular legend as the record that killed both band and label, a critical flop reviewed, somewhat inevitably, by Melody Maker with two words: “No thanks”, and a nailed-to-the-shelves commercial disaster that briefly limped to number 14 in the UK charts then sunk like a stone. It is a record that has been subsumed by the tales of its creation, from Shaun Ryder’s improvised poolside crack dens to Bez’s multiple car crashes, whose musical make up is rarely mentioned. And it remains far from critical rehabilitation: Yes Please! celebrates its 25 anniversary this month and there will be no deluxe edition nor anniversary tour nor BBC4 documentary.

Elon Musk Has Used Illegal Drugs, Worrying Leaders at Tesla and SpaceX
Some executives and board members fear the billionaire’s use of drugs—including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketamine—could harm his companies
Elon Muskand his supporters offer several explanations for his contrarian views, unfiltered speech and provocative antics. They’re an expression of his creativity. Or the result of his mental-health challenges. Or fallout from his stress, or sleep deprivation.
In recent years, some executives and board members at his companies and others close to the billionaire have developed a persistent concern that there is another component driving his behavior: his use of drugs.
