GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The Grand Rapids City Commission has passed new regulations for medical marijuana caregivers.

 

They voted Tuesday to require those caregivers to register as a home occupation.

The ordinance also requires them to be at least 1,000 feet from any school and that all marijuana be locked away.

It also limits the number of patients getting pot from a caregiver to five a week.

So far the state has approved just over 10,000 patients and more than 4,300 caregivers since medical marijuana became legal last April.

 

~There is also a quick vid of the story at the above link. I am not sure how to embed these types of vids on websites. I don't understand how they can limit how many times a week you can have company over. It will be hard to prove why you had visitors. I am surprised I hadn't heard of this before yesterday. I am just outside GR in Kentwood and I live 3 blocks from an Elementary school. Is Kentwood next?

it's odd. that same station (Channel 3), seems to have reported differing facets to the regulations. I don't see how we can obey press releases with opposing facts.

State law trumps Grand Rapids. What happened to anonymousness? Security?

I dont trust local gov. dont know if i should say anything. will this allow crossreferancing between state and local gov?

OK here's my 2C: I just applied for my card (yay Doc certified!) I live in GR. i was going to make my wife my caregiver. I am not now. this allows me to grow in peace, legally. Even if the law is wrong or invalid, we have seen that it does not make them unable to ruin people's lives.

[1337Gr33n]

oh, and we plan on moving out of the city within 5 years.

A to grow more, privately and legally.

B to have our kids in schools that actually educate our children!

Who gives a bunny muffin about these assinine ordinances? With perhaps a few exceptions most municipalities, townships, and counties are attempting to limit and quash the will of the people. If I'm not mistaken many in this community have been engaging in civil disobedience for decades (I know I have). The difference now is we are the responsible citizens, raising a family, and paying our taxes. So now we have the power to effect change, while still engaging in a healthy discourse of civil disobedience. F these ordinances while at the same time working diligently to challenge and change them.

For the rest of the oldies. Remember the Vietnam protests? All of us flower children combined began the anti movement but the establishment really took notice when middle America, the parents of soldiers, joined the movement and effected change by pressuring Nixon to run on an "end the war" platform. Those were the Republicans I admired and I joined them in electing Richard M. Nixon to his second term. In hind sight I wouldn't change that vote. Given what Presidents get away with today Tricky Dick was a jaywalker.
