Medical marijuana regulations being considered by the Jackson City Council are expected to be discussed Tuesday by a city committee.
About 80 people packed City Council chambers last month when the full Jackson City Council was to discuss a proposed medical marijuana ordinance, but council members referred it to the City Affairs Committee for more discussion.
The committee meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the second-floor council chambers at City Hall, 161 W. Michigan Ave.
Jackson City Council members tabled the ordinance and a related revision to the city's controlled substances ordinance so that zoning issues related to the proposed changes could be considered by the committee, which will send the matter back to the full City Council for consideration.
Under the proposed ordinance, qualifying patients or primary caregivers who are registered by the Michigan Department of Community Health to grow marijuana could do so in their homes. Patients could consume the drug only in their homes or their primary caregivers' homes.
Patients and primary caregivers also could grow medical marijuana at non-dwelling locations in certain commercial and industrial business districts.
The city has had a moratorium on medical marijuana operations during the drafting of the ordinance.
Last week the Leoni Township Board approved a similar medical marijuana moratorium.
Michigan voters approved in 2008 state law that allows people to use marijuana for medical purposes.
