Detroit delayed

While Michigan began adult sales in December 2019, municipalities had the right to choose not to. The college town of Ann Arbor has embraced recreational cannabis with enthusiasm, while Detroit has been mired in lawsuits delaying its launch.

“Since the day voters approved the sale of adult-use marijuana, our goal has been to ensure we have a city ordinance and process that provides fair and equitable access to those licenses, and the courts have affirmed, that we did just that. ‘ Mayor Mike Duggan said. “Council President Pro-Tem Tate and our Civil Rights, Inclusion and Opportunities Department and Legal Department deserve great credit for making this historic day possible. The city’s ability to accept applications was delayed in July after two separate lawsuits were filed after the city council approved the amended adult-use marijuana licensing ordinance in April, and a judge temporarily halted the process before reversing course and confirmed the ordinance of the city.”
