VILLAGE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER MARIJUANA MORATORIUM

The Goodrich Village Council will consider a moratorium on medical
marijuana during the June 13 meeting.

Doug McAbee, council president, said two companies recently inquired
about dispensaries.

"Right now we are unsure if those companies are going to move into the
village," said McAbee. "The council will take a look at some options
and information from the Michigan Muncipal League regarding the
ordinances."

According to state regulations, patients may possess up to two and
one-half (2.5) ounces of usable marijuana and 12 marijuana plants kept
in an enclosed, locked facility. The 12 plants may be kept by the
patient only if he or she has not specified a primary caregiver to
cultivate the marijuana for him or her. Goodrich voters passed the law
in November 2008 by a vote of 540-431.

Other area communities are still grappling with medical
marijiuana.

The Atlas Township Board and the Ortonville Village Council passed
moratoriums on medical marijuana dispensaries last year. The Brandon
Township Board unanimously passed a six-month moratorium on medical
marijuana during their March board meeting.

The Groveland Township Board of Trustees OK'd a 90-day moratorium last
month.
