LANSING: BILL WOULD BAN MARIJUANA CLUBS

Rep. Rick Jones, a Grand Ledge Republican, said Thursday that he is 
introducing legislation in the House to ban marijuana clubs because 
users shouldn't be encouraged to drive. He said it's a safety risk 
and that people authorized to use marijuana for medical purposes 
should do so at home.

The bill would punish violators with up to 90 days in jail.

Marijuana club owners say there's nothing prohibiting them from 
operating, and they provide an important service. Pending court cases 
that involve some clubs could set precedents for how they're allowed 
to operate.
