Traverse City commissioners held a study session Monday night on the laws surrounding medical marijuana licensing.
The session was meant to give commissioners a chance to talk with the city attorney about their options after new legislation.
The board discussed many issues surrounding the topic like federal oversight, local enforcement, and current regulations to get a better idea of what the future may hold.
The city clerk Benjamin Marentette, says it’s important to have these discussions now so the board is prepared when it comes time to make a decision.
“The idea is to take a measured approach to issues, and so tonight is part of really analyzing some of the various nuances and the depth to these types of issues so that when the decision making needs to occur, that it’s done in a thoughtful measured fashion.”
No decisions were made during the session, but the board did announce they would create an ad-hoc committee to further look at the issue.
