Attorney general says hotel owners could ban medical marijuana
LANSING (AP) -- Michigan's attorney general has issued an opinion saying the owner of an apartment building, hotel or similar facility can prohibit the use or growing of medical marijuana anywhere in the building.
The opinion issued last week by Republican Bill Schuette says the voter-approved medical marijuana law from 2008 would not prevent an apartment or hotel owner from banning the drug.
Schuette said the 2008 law prohibits patients from smoking the drug in public areas of restaurants, motels, apartment buildings and other public places.
He says the state's medical marijuana law needs clarification. Medical marijuana advocates say he's trying to make it more difficult to get and grow the drug.
