GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - The Grand Rapids City Commission has voted to require medical marijuana caregivers to register as a home occupation.
The law requires a registered primary caregiver be at least 1,000 feet from any school and that all marijuana be in the main building in an enclosed, locked facility.
It also says no more than five patients may get marijuana within a week.
The commission deleted a provision allowing warrantless inspections of caregivers' locations before passing the ordinance Tuesday.
Michigan voters approved medical use of marijuana in November 2008. Since regulations took effect April 6, the state says it's received 19,550 applications.
It has approved 10,022 patient and 4,305 caregiver registrations.
