Ypsilanti Courier, 31 May 2013 – On May 20, members of the Ypsilanti City Council narrowly delayed voting on a proposed emergency moratorium on new applications for medical marijuana dispensaries. The measure would have placed a 60-day moratorium on permits and licenses during which time city staff would evaluate dispensaries and growing facilities that already have been approved and then decide how many more to allow into the city. In the spirit of free enterprise and public health, is throwing additional local regulation into the medical marijuana commotion the best thing for Ypsilanti and other Washtenaw County communities struggling with similar issues? The answer to that question is shaky at best with many gray areas both at the state and local levels blurring a common-sense solution.
