So driving through Lansing as I do on my usual routine I have been seeing a lot of activity at that 24/7 one on Michigan Ave. They were still closed so it was just workers in there. Today though i noticed its open neon sign was turned on and they were open. I also noticed last week the place i had been going to before this whole thing was open. They are on the outskirts of Lansing i think actually another city. I just figured when i saw them open that oh the city must have approved them or something. Anyone know whats going on?

Well i guess the 24/7 one is now just a resource center but i still havnt checked in on the other place. Also a explanation on the hold up on the distribution of hard cards.

'Medical marijuana dispensaries are illegal for the time being in Michigan, but that isn't stopping people from registering as patients and caregivers. In fact, so many people are signing up that the state can't print the cards fast enough."I have been a caregiver myself for about six months. However, I have yet to get my card. I am approved and I have paperwork that states I am a caregiver," said Heather Durfee.Durfee works at TNT in Lansing, formerly a medical marijuana dispensary, but now a resource center that also helps to connect patients with certified caregivers -- the only legal way to obtain marijuana in Michigan.Caregivers and patients are encouraged to get registered with the state medical marijuana program."Participating in the registry program, that provides them with the protection from arrest and prosecution in their medical use of marijuana," said Celeste Clarkson, manager of Michigan's Medical Marijuana Program.However, the department is backlogged in printing the ID cards for approved patients and caregivers. That's simply because an increasing number of people are registering and the equipments no longer meet the needs."Our two printers can process and print about 800 cards a day. Because of the volume of our applications and the need to issue a card to a patient as well as their designated caregiver, there are many days when we have to print up to 1500 cards," Clarkson said.For those who have not received their cards, the state recommends carrying their application paperwork as proof they've been certified."

Oh and apparently their suing the city of Lansing.
