Michigan Municipalities continue to struggle with how to properly regulate medical marihuana in their communities.  Below is an update of recent municipal action:

• City of Holland: City Council approved a three month extension to the medical marihuana dispensary moratorium.
• Village of Kalkaska: Village Council voted last week to establish a six month moratorium on the sale and dispensation of medical marihuana.
• City of Flint: City Council passed a six month moratorium banning new dispensaries from opening their doors.  The City Council is hopeful that this will be enough time to establish a zoning ordinance for dispensaries. 
• Union Township: Passed a six-month medical marihuana moratorium to ensure safe usage and to take proper zoning measures.
• East Lansing: City Council extended its moratorium for another 90 days to consider an ordinance that would confine dispensaries to certain zoning districts.  The Council will reexamine the issue at its March 15 meeting.
• Bay City: To temporarily stop any more dispensaries from opening, the Bay City Commission approved a six month moratorium to discuss regulations.
• Grand Blanc Township: Allows dispensaries in an area around Genesys Health Park
• Delhi Township: Approved an ordinance allowing marihuana distribution under the category of "home caregiver."
• Village of Dimondale:  Village Council adopted an ordinance that prohibits dispensaries but allows registered caregivers to deliver medical marihuana to the homes of registered patients.
