Grand Haven approves home-based medical marijuana operations within city limits
GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) -- The Grand Haven City Council passed an ordinance this week allowing home-based medical marijuana caregivers to operate within the city.
The decision follows a moratorium issued back in February. Registered caregivers now have to right to grow and distribute marijuana from their home.
Caregivers who grow marijuana must work from home as licensed home businesses. They may not open storefront dispensaries like those that are allowed in California.
Also, caregivers can only operate from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. with never more than two patients in the same home. The home businesses must be at least 1,000 feet from the nearest school.
Grand Haven City Planner Kristin Keery says the city believes the caregiving should be a home grown industry.
