Michigan - Anyone thinking of opening a medical marijuana facility in the city of Allegan is going to have to wait.
The city council recently imposed a six-month moratorium on issuing permits or licenses for such places.
In 2008, Michigan voters passed a statewide referendum approving the legal sale of marijuana for medical uses.
“The city of Allegan has questions on the implementation of that law,” said City Manager-Clerk Robert Hillard.
The questions revolve around enforcement through zoning laws, he said. Because of those questions, the city attorney had recommended a moratorium on the creation of such businesses so all aspects can be evaluated.
“We’ve had no requests at this point,” Hillard said.
