MACOMB BOARD ADOPTS RESOLUTION OPPOSING MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

The Macomb Township Board of Trustees recently adopted a resolution
opposing the legalization of marijuana for general use in Macomb
County communities.

At the July 9 township board meeting, Supervisor Janet Dunn said that
the Chippewa Valley Coalition for Youth and Families requested that
the board adopt the resolution.

"This resolution does not, it does not relate to any use of medical
marijuana that is used in the medical profession. I want to make sure
of that, that people understand that they will still be able to get
it," Macomb Township Trustee Roger Krzeminski said.

The resolution indicates that ballot proposals to decriminalize
marijuana for general use are being considered in 12 Michigan
communities and that general marijuana use and possession is not
permitted under federal and state laws.
