Full Breakdown
Wyoming, Michigan (Kent County) opted out of licensing marijuana businesses under both state cannabis statutes. Sec. 14-51(a) states 'pursuant to section 6 of the MRTMA marihuana establishments are prohibited within the boundaries of the city,' and Sec. 14-51(b) adds that 'marihuana facilities are prohibited within the boundaries of the city,' covering both the recreational establishments licensed under the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act and the medical facilities licensed under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act. The zoning ordinance backs this with its own district-level bar: Sec.
' Sec. 14-52 clarifies the ban does not touch individual rights under the MRTMA, the rights of registered qualifying patients or primary caregivers under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, or a primary caregiver assisting a qualifying patient as allowed by state law, meaning home cultivation and caregiver activity protected by state law is unaffected even though no storefront may open in the city. Sec. 14-53 required the council to revisit the prohibition after state rulemaking, but the ban has stayed on the books.
