The City of Detroit finally issued recreational marijuana licenses to nearly three dozen businesses this week. It comes after a years-long battle over recreational marijuana in the city.
Voters approved the use of recreational marijuana in 2018 but Detroit held off on allowing the businesses until City Council approved an ordinance earlier this year.
Then, lawsuits delayed the application process until a judge upheld the city's ordinance.
"Our goal from the day voters approved the sale of adult-use marijuana was to make sure we had a city ordinance and a process in place that provides fair and equitable access to these licenses and the courts have affirmed that we've done just that,” Mayor Mike Duggan said in a statement.
"I am thankful for Judge Friedman’s wisdom in ruling today against the Temporary Restraining Order that would have again prevented Detroit from moving forward with our current Adult-Use Marijuana Ordinance," said Council President Pro-Tem James Tate
According to the city, not all applications met the requirements, and at least two more rounds of applications will be allowed.
