Before having this interview with Councilman Coleman Young Jr.  I had little or no understanding of the Cannabis business.  It was all weed to me.  I had no idea that it was such a big business in the greater Detroit area, which not only sold cannabis and related products, but had owners who were putting money into the neighborhoods.  They don't seem to be playing the Gentrification games by movin...
