Some Michigan communities are already prohibiting adult-use marijuana businesses, a little more than a week after voters in the state approved legalization of recreational cannabis.
According to various newspaper reports, Niles City in southwestern Michigan and Pinckney village in the southeastern part of the state have decided to opt out, at least for now. St. Joseph in southwestern Michigan is expected to do the same.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday that officials at colleges across the state say marijuana wont be allowed on campuses. Thats because they dont want to jeopardize federal funding since marijuana is still illegal federally.
Michigans new recreational marijuana law takes effect next month. Municipalities could decide to opt-in later but, if the states MMJ industry is an indication, many jurisdictions will choose to prohibit rec MJ at least initially.
MLive.com, citing state figures, reported that 108 communities in Michigan have opted out of the states medical marijuana program.
Still, despite early holdouts, Marijuana Business Daily projects that Michigans rec MJ market will reach $1.4 billion-$1.7 billion in annual sales within several years.
Wayne State University announced pot is not allowed on campus under penalty of expulsion if caught.
“One thing about weed... There are a LOT of closet users.”
Yep! Soccer moms, stay-at-home parents, grandparents, doctors, surgeons, lawyers, teachers, psychologists, engineers, scientists, financial advisers, restaurateurs, burger flippers, waitresses, pole dancers(?)...And you can’t really tell if they’re under the influence or not. They’re well enough acclimated to the effects that for them it’s easy enough to control to the extent that nobody notices and nothing bad ever happens just because they ingested an insignificant amount of THC.
Has the annual Hash Bash in Ann Arbor been cancelled forever yet?
"Going to be"? It has been for decades.
No, and it never will be.
Yes it has... All the way back from before ancient Sumerian written history. It’s just cycling from once accepted by society, To unaccepted by society, and back to accepted by society again. Cannabis use has been around just about as long as man has been around.
I imagine a lot of the same fears were voiced when Prohibition was ended. The marijuana Prohibition is as bad as the alcohol one. Republicans are on the loosing side of this and it is costly in our elections. ‘FOR THE CHILDREN ‘ IS THE BATTLE CRY of every Democrat hysteria Government overreach proposal.
___ I started writing this entry at least an hour ago and just now able to complete it. My apologies if someone already said this since then.
Amen. It is like the Government doesn’t want anyone to have a gun. Hmmmmm
I agree. You obviously have had experience with “Mary Jane’’.
Ditto?
The only time that unlawful user has been judged in court (that I am aware of), the term was judged to be essentially meaningless. ATF can print anything they want on their forms, but they cant make law.
