STATE SUPREME COURT CONSIDERS CITY OF WYOMING'S MEDICAL MARIJUANA BAN
Lansing ( AP ) - Medical marijuana is legal in Michigan but apparently
not in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming.
The Michigan Supreme Court is hearing arguments Thursday about a 2010
ordinance in the city of Wyoming that bars activities that conflict
with federal law. Those activities would include growing or
possessing marijuana, even though marijuana for medicinal use is
legal in Michigan.
Wyoming is appealing a decision that struck down the ordinance.
The Michigan branch of the American Civil Liberties Union is
representing Wyoming resident John Ter Beek, who is registered to use
medical marijuana. The ACLU says cities can't ignore state law.
An association of Michigan prosecutors is supporting the city. A
handful of other communities have similar laws.
