FERNDALE, MI –

Police have arrested 15 people following raids at two medical marijuana facilities in Oakland County.

The raids Wednesday took place at Clinical Relief in Ferndale and Everybody's Cafe in Waterford Township. Police tell The Detroit News that private residences in Oakland and Macomb counties also were raided.

Clinical Relief co-owner Ryan Richmond tells the newspaper he operates a medical marijuana consultation business where certified patients can pick from among 15 to 20 varieties of medical marijuana to take elsewhere for use.

Richmond tells the Detroit Free Press he wasn't told why the raid happened.

Ferndale city leaders on Monday lifted a moratorium on medical marijuana businesses and amended local zoning ordinances to allow them in certain sections of the city.
