US MI: Court: Shops Can’t Charge For Product

Traverse City Record-Eagle, 09 Feb 2013 – TRAVERSE CITY – Michigan’s Supreme Court ruled that medical marijuana users can’t buy their medicine at pot shops, a decision that could shut down Traverse City and Acme businesses set up for such transactions. Traverse City Police Capt. Brian Heffner said five marijuana shops in Traverse City allow the sale of medical marijuana from caregivers to patients. Typically owners take about a 20 percent cut in sales to help pay the store’s overhead, Heffner said.
