city ordinances? couple questions

From those of you who are familiar with city ordinances, do you know exactly what they say you can and can not do?

Are they aiming to ban dispensaries, or growers all together?

CAN they make an ordinace to ban patients from growing for themselves? Is that against the law to go agaisnt the state law that much?

I live in macomb, and i reade something in the paper that got me worried, any input would be appreciated.

City ordinances can be whatever the city wants them to be. Some cities are banning all around grow and dispensing businesses but others want to regulate it. They cant make an ordinance that goes against state law otherwise you can probably file a lawsuit with the city and most likely win because of your patient rights. It happened back in colorado where cities were trying to ban dispensaries and growing for yourself and people would just file a lawsuit and win every single one....as long as they were operating properly under the state law.

hope this helps a little!

they could ban dispensaries with an ordinance since there is nothing in the law about them but you're safe on the growing and what not.

what did you read in the paper? im in the next county north of you.

Thanks that is what I thought. It was in macomb township newspaper. They were talking about how mm laws are vague. They aim to clarify them and regulate the situation. What had me worried is a comment, "we don't want people growing these things/Plants in their homes or neighborhoods."

It depends on if you live in a city with, or without part of the over 60% of people
that voted for the laws.
It's hard to hear the voice of the people over the law enforcement community and the
local city councils cries that the sky is falling.
While the co-ops, and dispensaries may be in question, the comment about not wanting
plants in homes in their cities is not debatable. If you are carded properly, you have by
law been given the protection from prosecution to grow marijuana in your home,
under the guidelines set forth in the laws.

cool, that is what i thought. Do you suppose it will be the same for caregivers?

Well the law says caregivers can have up to 5 patients so again, if you're following the law
and have cards for all your patients, you're protected.
Patients and caregivers are specifically addressed in the laws. I can see cities wanting to
challenge things like dispensaries, or have the laws address them.
For city governments to make the argument the law is vague on the legality of patient or caregiver
to grow, or possess doesn't hold water.
Looking at someones card, front and back is all you need to do to see what the card holder is legally able to do.
That part can't get much easier, or clearer than it is. But then again, this is government we're dealing with.

Here take a look at this this is a representivie from the ACLU. They are on our side!!!!!!!!!!
