Marihuana not Marijuana
Usted puede conocer como la marihuana , pero el Estado de Michigan deletrea marihuana. (Sí, con una h .)
El Estado utiliza una h en lugar de un j porque ésta era la ortografía utilizada cuando el Estado de Michigan define marihuana en su código de salud pública. Estamos haciendo lo mismo para evitar confusiones.
Overview
We're working to make sure that Grand Rapids medical marihuana patients have safe and reliable access to their medicine. Over the past few months we drafted recommendations for an ordinance to allow medical marihuana facilities.
Ordinance Background
We prepared ordinance language for a Planning Commission public hearing at their May 24, 2018 Meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Commission recommended deletions of several provisions of the ordinance to increase the number of available locations for marihuana facilities, as well as other changes. The Planning Commission recommended the amended ordinance to the City Commission for approval.
The City Commission reviewed the ordinance and will host a public hearing on July 10, 2018.
Public Hearing - July 10, 2018

The Data
We prepared interactive maps to help you make sense of the recommendations. You'll be able to see the number of facilities the proposed ordinance and potential amendments would allow.
