(Daniel Mears / The Detroit News) Last A three-day “pot party” planned at the Silverdome over Halloween has caught the police chief and others A postcard-sized announcement for “The First International Cannabis Convention” — featuring a giant marijuana plant bursting through the Silverdome roof — began showing up in local businesses this past week.
