purklize Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Is it legal to grow your 12 plants in Ypsilanti? http://ypsiciti.com/section/News/Marijuana+zoning+ordinance+adopted+in+Ypsilanti+Twp.-article-2005.html Stumbo said she had personally received about 10 calls from residents who were angry the township would not be allowing medical marijuana to be grown or dispensed in residential areas. The wording of the ordinance is somewhat unclear (to me at least), and it's unfortunately not something you can really blow off - it's a 90 day misdemeanor to violate the ordinance, so a bad landlord could screw you for sure, if home growing is illegal. They say you need to register to grow... and to do it in a light industrial zoned area... but this seems targeted at caregivers, those with big grows. https://cityofypsilanti.ewashtenaw.org/news/Medical_Marijuana/Medical_Marijuana_Information Thanks for any insight. Ann Arbor's obviously the best choice but Ypsilanti is a lot more affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purklize Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It seems to regulate caregivers only, but I'm not sure. Manufacturing facilities are defined as caregivers, home occupations are defined as caregivers... I don't see patients anywhere. Obviously it's really important to know the answer to this though...

Kingdiamond Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 “I don't know if this ordinance is perfect, but at least it's getting it out of our neighborhoods,” No way would i stop let them find me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purklize Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I just called 3rd Coast and they say patients are allowed to grow their 12 plants, that the regulations just apply to caregivers. They aren't lawyers, but it's something. Anyone got a prepaid cell and the guts to call the City Attorney? I don't, and they didn't answer my emails (the police dept. didn't either). I need a chicken avatar. All I asked was whether patients can grow their 12 plants without harassment from the city. http://cityofypsilanti.com/ContactUs City Attorney's Office John Barr, City Attorney 105 Pearl Street Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (734) 483-9642 Fax: (734) 483-3871 Email: jbarr@barrlawfirm.com Police Department Amy Walker, Police Chief 505 W.

Kingdiamond Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 All this would be is a cival infraction as long as your legal what it amounts to is a ordinance or blight type ticket or fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purklize Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 The ordinance actually says violating it is a 90 day misdemeanor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdiamond Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 The ordinance actually says violating it is a 90 day misdemeanor. Read it close UP TO A 90 DAY MISDEMEANOR doesnt mean the judge is going to impose that on a legal grower (not saying he wont either but anyhoo ) plus you should be grandfathered in since you were already established pre ordinance .
