A new ordinance in Jackson will require medical marijuana users and caregivers to use only 20% of their homes for drug use and cultivation.
The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports the measure that passed Tuesday night by a 4-3 vote of the Jackson City Council is scheduled to go into effect Sept. 12.
Dozens of medical marijuana advocates at the meeting walked out after the vote. Joe Cain organized a protest ahead of the meeting and spoke to City Council about the ordinance. He says he and others plan to sue to block the regulation.
Michigan voters approved marijuana for some chronic medical conditions in 2008, but the state Supreme Court ruled in January that medical marijuana dispensaries aren't allowed. Michigan has roughly 130,000 registered users of medical marijuana.
