That includes up to six provisioning centers that could distribute the drug to patients who have medical marijuana cards.īut thus far no medical marijuana facilities have opened in the township nor have any gone through Meridian's full licensing process, Township Manager Frank Walsh said. That would take either a vote from township trustees or approval by voters of another citizen-initiated ballot proposal.Ĭurrently, township ordinance allows limited numbers of medical marijuana businesses, but not recreational ones. Tuesday's vote doesn't automatically mean that recreational establishments, like stores, growers, transporters, processors or testing laboratories will be allowed in the township. The proposal got to the ballot after backers gathered more than 1,000 signatures from registered voters.
Vote totals still need to certified by boards of canvassers in coming days.
As of just after 3 a.m., the tally showed 6,159 voters against the proposal, a difference of only 14 votes compared to those in favor.
Meridian voters on Tuesday rejected a proposal that would have banned all types of recreational cannabis businesses from the township, unofficial results show.Ī narrow majority of voters said no to the proposal, according to results posted early Wednesday by the Ingham County Clerk's Office.
