Michigan Continues to Grapple with Medical Marihuana Regulations

Tuesday, 19 October 2010 18:49

According to the Lansing State Journal, the East Lansing City Council is seeking comments on its approach to regulate medical marihuana.  The City Council is currently debating between three ordinances: a home occupation ordinance that requires a city-issued license; an ordinance that allows cultivation of marihuana while prohibiting dispensaries, and; an ordinance that allows cultivation of marihuana and regulates dispensaries. A graphic view of the ordinances is available here.

Similarly, the City of Battle Creek with its medical marihuana moratorium expiring in January, is debating how to regulate medical marihuana.  City leaders do not have a proposed ordinance, but according to the Battle Creek Enquirer, have reached "a general consensus" to allow patients and caregivers to grow up to 12 plants in their homes.  The cultivation of more than 12 plants would be limited to commercial or agricultural zones.

Finally, according to the Detroit News, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard has suggested that the state create a body similar to the Gaming Control Board - which regulates casino gambling - to clarify the Medical Marihuana Act.
