Medical Marihuana Seminar Stymied by Municipality

PDF Print

     A seminar aimed at helping medical marihuana patients was cancelled after Highland Township threatened the scheduled speaker with a land-use violation.  Rather than subjecting the patrons to potential police action, the owner of the seminar location decided to forego holding the meeting.  This presents an interesting conflict between an individual's right to assemble and speak on private property and a municipality's application of its zoning ordinance.  The Township's decision was based on its moratorium banning facilities or activities related to the growth, sale, or dispensation of marihuana.  More information can be found in the following article.
