Black market marijuana and hash oil are illegal in Michigan because they evade testing, taxation and safety inspections.

Michael B. Gillis, 34, has been arrested twice in the last seven months by police in Minnesota and Florida, records show.

Multiple suspects are facing charges in connection to a “black market hash oil production” sting in Branch County.

At the behest of the DRI, the Indian Coast Guard intercepted the vessel on March 5, 2025, in mid-sea off the Kanyakumari coast and escorted it back to Tuticorin New Port by March 7, 2025.
