As metro Detroit voters prepare to weigh their options at the voting booth this fall, voters in a few metro Detroit communities will have another hot-button issue to consider: cannabis.
Marijuana has been legalized recreationally statewide since December 2018, with the first state-licensed sales taking place a year later, in December 2019.
But not every community has pot shops nearby. Baked into the legislation that freed the weed was a carve-out allowing municipalities to ban or restrict marijuana businesses from opening in their communities. These metro Detroit communities will confront this issue, voting on marijuana-related proposals in the general election on Nov. 5.
