Explore Capone of Cannabis, a true-crime memoir and investigative journalism series about Michigan’s early medical marijuana era—before sleek dispensaries, before corporate cannabis, when raids, informants, and task forces shaped the industry in real time. Written by Ryan Richmond, one of Michigan’s first licensed dispensary owners, this category covers dispensary life, cannabis legalization history, police corruption, federal prosecution, and the IRS weaponization of tax code 280E against cannabis businesses.
