Chesterfield Township's attempt to shut down a medical marijuana facility was put on hold Monday when a judge scheduled a Sept. 30 evidentiary hearing.
Attorneys for the township and Big Daddy's Management Group and the facility's landlord argued in front of Judge John Foster in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens regarding the township's claim it violates the zoning ordinance and a new ordinance that bans any "medical marijuana dispensary, compassion center or other similar operation for the consumption or distribution of medical marijuana."
Big Daddy's counters that the facility on Gratiot Avenue between 23 and 24 mile roads complies with state law and township ordinances. It claims the new ordinance is ineffective because it was passed after the facility opened.
Big Daddy's eliminated its monetary transactions between and among patients and caregivers at its four facilities in Southeast Michigan following a state Court of Appeals ruling last week.
The facility continues to sell equipment for growing marijuana indoors and advice.
