City Councilman James Tate's office says Detroit's extension will allow "additional opportunity to continue to develop a social equity program that ensures all eligible Detroiters have an opportunity" to participate in Michigan's new marijuana industry.

so, they're setting up some kind of affirmative action program or something, out of an apparent fear that white people are going to control the supply. in the mean time, the functional effect of the policy is to continue to arrest black people for selling it illegally, and to drive away people that want to come in to the city.

it's typical detroit...the place is just so badly run it's baffling.....
