Former Motown Anchor Trying to Open Marijuana Dispensary
/
Former WJBK Anchor Anqunette Jamison Sarfoh is pushing a new cannabis campaign to Corktown which supporters say would provide safe access to medical pot but not everyone is on board.
She has found a property off of I-75 that's been abandoned for about ten years in Corktown. She wants to turn the property into a marijuana dispensary.
"This property satisfies that requirement we're 1,000 feet away from residents, churches, daycare centers."
Jamison's dispensary will be called BotaniQ. She said she likes the location near I-75 and the ample parking, especially for disabled patients.
"I want to make sure that people have access to all types of safe testing medications and we're hoping to provide that here," Sarfoh said.
Jamison, who left WJBK in 2016, says she's used medical marijuana to treat her multiple sclerosis symptoms for years.
She says she's been looking for a spot to open up her own dispensary that fits all the requirements for the city's ordinance.
She thinks she has found that spot.
"Of course we have a lot of things we wanna do to this property but we have to get approved first," she said.
