The Detroit City Council determined Tuesday that could not move forward with a vote on a marijuana ordinance to authorize recreational dispensaries in the city, reported detroitnews.com. An additional public hearing will be held on April 5 to discuss if the legislation should be changed.
Mayor Pro Tem James Tate proposed an amendment to the city code in February which opens benefits to residents from disproportionately impacted communities. "Unless there are any additional amendments, this would cap it and we can move forward with licensing. We are now seeing light at the end of the tunnel," Tate said.
