‘White Boy Rick’ Launching Cannabis Brand
Wershe was released from prison last year for good behavior
Richard Wershe Jr., aka “White Boy Rick,” the Michigan man who was sentenced to prison in 1987 for cocaine possession after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had used him as an informant to gain access to drug gangs since he was 14-years-old, is launching his own cannabis brand, the Detroit Metro Times reports. He is calling the brand “The 8th” referring to the unit of measurement for cannabis and also the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment which prohibits “cruel and unusual punishment.”
Wershe was released from prison last year for good behavior. His sentence—which was initially life—is the longest for a nonviolent juvenile in Michigan history.
