"We hope that Governor Murphy will bring this same kind of sensible policy direction to the ongoing and important talks occurring now in regards to legalization in the Garden State".

The state now has 22 medical marijuana dispensaries, which fall under the purview of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, though oversight is scheduled to be transferred before the end of this year.

Ken Wolski, the executive director of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana New Jersey, welcomed the program's expansion because it isn't now meeting the state's needs.

Traverse City commissioners in February agreed to begin crafting rules to allow medical marijuana businesses defined under the new law. "Our society has said marijuana should be legal, so we should not be jailing people for it, especially non-violent offenders, that are trying to do within the parameters of this gray area, that we're in the process of right now".

For some, medical marijuana means less pain, nausea or spasms. So adding those five conditions are definitely going to tax the dispensaries that we have now. Commission Chairwoman Linda Keith said having regulations on medical marijuana prepares the town to regulate local sales of marijuana for recreational use, should the state ever approve that.

"The rest of this is a total slap in the face to this neighborhood", Arter said afterward.

"We have repeatedly voiced our support for decriminalizing marijuana and other drugs - both medicinally and recreationally", we wrote last fall.

"The problem with that is, the city of Detroit has passed a six-month moratorium where they are not processing any applications".

The first public workshop in the city's cannabis policy review will be held on Wednesday, March 28, in Andrews Hall at the Sonoma Community Center, starting at 6:30 p.m. The commission will only start tracking data once applicants have registered with the licensing system.
