The boom is awesome, our county is already investing money back into the community INCLUDING for children in a POSITIVE, not-related or about WEED, light. Keep it going, this industry WAS the promise it promised for Michigan, and other states as well. Hats off to the dispensary system, cannabis workers, and all involved and that also reminds me of the JOBS, too! Thanks again, the detractors in this story just do not see the big and long-term picture perhaps. But I agree, legalization and dispensaries are here to stay. As is the boom. End. And great to see and hear! The detractors are wrong, but thank goodness the industry has so much support on it's side. Let the revenues continue to roll in and be reinvested, three cheers for legalization! May the boom continue, and it SHALL. Peace. . // . /.

    If individual townships don't want it, then don't have it. Also cut them from the tax revenue stream generated by the dispensaries. I've traveled from an illegal state where there are none to be seen, to work for months at a time in MI and have visited several dispensaries all over the state. It was generally a pleasant experience. Way too many cannabis billboards on the highway though, but I really hate all billboards anyway, especially the injury lawyer ones.

      They are pushing marijuana because Obamacare forbids docs and nurses from prescribing opioid pain meds. The dictum came down in 2008 when like Obamacare politicians and pharma and insurance companies all were given stocks and other benefits and a share of the profits. So they created a phantasm of a plant that can cure and kill any and everything. No matter the ailments the panacea is marijuana and sick pain patients are just asking for pain meds because they are not in pain or mentally ill or they're doctor shopping. But. If sick people in pain are willing to give up a couple hundred bucks for some marijuana these docs and nurses were willing to prescribe. So that's how marijuana is allowed to flourish. While thousands of patients in pain have died or committed suicide and the lawsuits are evidence. Thousands of docs and nurses have died or committed suicide or been imprisoned and license revoked because they dare disobey the order to deny pain meds so insurance and big pharma and private healthcare could get rich off marijuana. All the lawsuits from doctors and nurses attest to the thousands of docs and nurses who have early retired or changed profession. Nobody talks about this marijuana. But there is mountains of evidence and lawsuits about the dangers of this marijuana which is actually marketed for kids. Hence all the cookies and ice cream names. But many marijuana smokers are coming down with incurable disease like the nausea disease. The heart failure. The need for ventilator problems. I'm old school marijuana smokers. But I still prefer to find my marijuana from the street. Or buy my own authentic landrace seeds. But that Obamacare marijuana is not for me.
