The Voice, 30 Nov 2012 – The New Baltimore City Council is now left with no ordinance or moratorium addressing medical marijuana. On Nov. 26 the council again turned down a proposed ordinance that would have allowed the growth and sale of marijuana in specified sites for caregivers and patients. This ordinance was more reflective of what the Planning Commission wanted; it did not allow the growth of marijuana in any place but the industrial district in the city.

The Voice, 14 Jul 2012 – The city of New Baltimore’s marijuana moratorium is on the brink of expiring once again and council still hasn’t voted on an ordinance that could allow the substance to be used for medical purposes. At the July 9 council meeting, an ordinance that would allow the distribution, use, sale and cultivation of the substance in accordance with the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act was tabled once again. This time, the request came after New Baltimore Police Chief Tim Wiley said he had questions about the ordinance and asked that he, the fire chief and building inspector have input.
