EPIC
Eradication Prevention of Illicit Cannabis
I give this name a 0.3 out of 10.
feels like a double negative, clearly they just wanted the epic acronym.
No creativity.

Because there was more than 100 pounds of marijuana, the penalty for trafficking is a mandatory minimum 25-year sentence, if convicted, the sheriff’s office said.
probably the most realistic police value i have seen of weed.
That’s when they found 120 vacuumed-sealed packages of marijuana with a street value of about $120,000.

Key Michigan Appeals Court rulings
Recreational growing is not a felony: In a January 2024 ruling, the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed that growing marijuana for recreational purposes, even in amounts that were once considered a felony, is now only a misdemeanor. The ruling addressed an outdated law from 1978 and impacted thousands of prior convictions.
-
Growing 12 or fewer plants for personal use is explicitly protected under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA).
-
Felony charges for cultivation now only apply to manufacturing or distributing large quantities of marijuana for commercial purposes, not for personal use.
They could still get him for trafficking , but if they don’t know where or whom it was going to they may not be able to prove the case past simple possession.
A much easier case om the tax beef if the trafficking evidence is limited would be my best bet. Plus this is a better headline I think
