(CBS DETROIT) - A Black-owned cannabis company held a Black Lives Matter Mural unveiling for its grand opening Tuesday.

Motor City Kush, located at 10 East 8 Mile Road, is a medical provisioning center that sells high-quality cannabis products such as flower, vape cartridges and edibles.

The mural of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd was created by esteemed artist and muralist, Phil "Fresh" Simpson. It also features a poem by Detroit poetry artist, Joel "Fluent" Greene.
