Home grow in Ypsilanti, legal?

Is it legal to grow your 12 plants in Ypsilanti?

Stumbo said she had personally received about 10 calls from residents who were angry the township would not be allowing medical marijuana to be grown or dispensed in residential areas.

The wording of the ordinance is somewhat unclear (to me at least), and it's unfortunately not something you can really blow off - it's a 90 day misdemeanor to violate the ordinance, so a bad landlord could screw you for sure, if home growing is illegal.

They say you need to register to grow... and to do it in a light industrial zoned area... but this seems targeted at caregivers, those with big grows.

Thanks for any insight. Ann Arbor's obviously the best choice but Ypsilanti is a lot more affordable.

It seems to regulate caregivers only, but I'm not sure. Manufacturing facilities are defined as caregivers, home occupations are defined as caregivers... I don't see patients anywhere. Obviously it's really important to know the answer to this though...

Can I get some clarification here? SO if I get this right the feds trump the state no matter what, they are the greater power and pot is illegal all over the country should a fed decide to butt-bang you, correct? So why does this somehow not work on the state vs community level????? To me, it seems the village, township, city etc. are at the mercy of the state in the same light as the feds can fuck a med state should they feel the urge. So the heart of my question; how the hell can some po-dunk township put up laws against marijuana when its legal at the state level? I think Ypsilanti should just get fucked.

I believe that is for caregivers and larger scale gardens only, not small personal patient gardens. Ypsi is one of the most medical marijuana friendly cities in the state, its also the home to the very first dispensery in the state and the home to a handful of of other dispensaries that are still open despite last years supreme court rulings.

BTW, that article is over 2 years old now...

It would be worth a trip to city hall and the copshop n ask 'em just what the views are there downtown. Also 3rd Coast would be able to provide good feedback of what really is happening in their community.

The township is dead against mmj. The guy who runs the zoningis crazy. He hates mmj and will prosecute anyone involved. This includes all growing. The city requires licensing for growing and dispensary. They made us sleep on the street downtown for a week to get our licenses. The criteria for getting approved is very difficult and costs $1500 a year. I'm there all the time and know the real deal. My computer died from a virus from attitudes site so I just check in to read on my phone once in a while till j can afford a new one. I'll watch this thread when I can. Oh and third coast is a joke. I wouldn't step foot there if I was paid to. They know nothing about anything so don't bother. Herbal solutions is where to go. The shop is as useless as third coast too. Yikes.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

bowlfullofbliss - you're referring to Ypsilanti Township, right? Do you know if the city of Ypsilanti has similar policies?

Maybe I'll have to just avoid the area, if growing isn't tolerated... I tried emailing the cops there but they didn't respond...

I wanted to go there because it's cheap, but there's some scary parts of town for sure. I didn't get a good look at it until today, before I was usually just passing through or had a specific destination, instead of wandering around aimlessly. I liked the area around EMU - lots of students, people gardening outside, elderly lady sitting on her porch with a Macbook... but it could be different at night. I looked at Aspen apartments just west of Ypsi near Golfside. That was just comical. 2pm and the whole place was buzzing with activity, easily 10x as much as I've seen at any other complex, dogs were running around without owners and cars were driving on the lawn... I would not want to be there after dark.

Check out some of these reviews on that dump:

The buildings are old and in poor repair (ie they replace balconies when they fall, rather than all at once for safety).

They let the balconies collapse? Yikes.

I was walking through the woods to go to the store and two kid jump me and took my last 22.00 this place sucks my apt is ok but the place sucks.the staff just want their money.

AND IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO RENT HERE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ELECTRICAL METER! ONE BUILDING YOU HAVE TO SHARE AND THE BILL IS OVER 300.00 YES! JUST ASK !

On the other hand... if they really do wire the buildings that way... maybe I should just move there, raise a pack of wolverines as pets, and get a shady electrician to upgrade the wiring, so I can set up 10,000w of lights. If people are paying 300/mo there's probably already a lot of people doing that there.

What's wrong with this picture?

thought I remember bowlfulofbliss had england listed as his home before, guy knows stealth... sounds like he's familiar w ypsi, but he said he only checks here on occasion. those apts do sound dicey. I'd bet that 199 can be paid after you're accepted, or that better be refundable. could be interesting if u found a roomie that wanted to learn how to grow to share expenses of single fam home w basement. personally I can't stand roomates or live w anyone.

I just thought it was hilarious that they say they're going to give you $200 "for free" after you first pay a $199 "fee."

I'm with you on the roommates - I've had some extremely bad experiences with that. One roommate turned out to be a fucking SNITCH. I found a digital recorder in a manilla envelope addressed from some detective in his room.That was just great. Another roommate turned out to be a full blown psychopath. I spent 6 months honestly expecting to wake up getting pumped full of lead. And my latest one (my ex) is the messiest person I have ever known in my life. I'm not very organized or clean, but my god, I still do the dishes more than once a month.

Damn purk! good luck finding a place to call home...We need two new threads started here. A place where patients can find 420 friendly landlords and a shitty roommates thread! I currently got myself in a bad situation. Its my 1st roommate that I can't stand however its the only one that wasn't my brother. Dudes a lazy ass slob that doesn't get off the couch much, doesn't own a piece of grow equipment(but he's been growing for over a year), can't even grow(kills everything), sleeps on the couch, and didn't shower until I bitched!! To top that I'm living in a 650 sq ft house with this slob. I hate to be mean but what the fuck are some peoples issues...? I'll never have another roomy after I figure out how to get myself out of this situation!!!

Get a bigger place.
Move out.
Leave your couch,
with your roommate on it.
Tell him you left him the couch, cuz you know how much he likes it.

You need to be an even worse roommate than he is. Stop wearing clothes. Start leaving pop bottles of pee all over the place, occasionally slipping a refilled bottle of Mountain Dew into the box. Poop in frying pans and sear it on the stove to dehydrate it for storage. Stop flushing the toilet. Put trash back in the fridge or on the radiator. Never clean the kitchen again. Rearrange everything in the house all the time so he can never find anything. Start getting up for the day at 2am and drinking beer and belching. Try to learn how to make electronic music, trust me enduring this process can cause the coolest of minds to perish in flames. Play his favorite song on repeat for 4 hours until he hates his own song. Do that one by one until he hates all the music he liked. Stop taking out the trash. When you empty jars of peanut butter, refill them with water and put them on the radiator. A few months later it smells like nasty sock vomit butt droppings. Sleep with your feet in a bucket of water without washing them first and never change the water. Wash your balls with water from that jar and never change that either, and store it on the radiator. Start getting lots of cats and dogs, and train them to snatch your roommate's food out of his hand. Train them to piss on his bed and blast scat in his face while barfing on his crotch. Pretend to become a junkie and start leaving needles between the couch cushions. Move any and all entertainment and electric cooking devices into your bedroom and install a new lock on your door. Sign him up for "free laptop" contests. Always drink his beer. Give his plants a mystery disease - sneak in his grow room late at night and snip off every other blade from the leaves, or kill them with a paintbrush and salt water (so they burn off). When he freaks out the next day, act mystified, then suddenly remember it's called "spaditis." Repeat this until they're all dead. Ask his girlfriend out on a date to the bar, right in front of him. Barf in his socks and shoes - eat chunky chili first. Dump ice cold beer on his face when he's sound asleep. Hire an electrician to disconnect the electricity from his room. Idle your motorcycle in the living room. Raise tarantulas, scorpions, vampire bats, and giant centipedes (they can be the size of a big snake) and call them cute. Play porn at maximum volume from your room and scream along with the music at the top of your lungs while thumping the wall. Put up some sandbags and a target and starting blasting away with a rifle at 3am. Start sneaking his things off to a storage unit he doesn't know about.

Note to self: Do not fuck with Purklize.

Note to self: what Glad said.

Hey purk! looks like you've been there and done that hey? When can I move in bro?

so purk would it be safe to guess that you may not wish to have a roomate.. that skillet pate' would most def get the attention of most couch potatoes.. sometimes you must think a few steps ahead and defer the prolonged diplomacy for those less skilled. my only friendly suggestion would be to not mess w the cannabis plants lol, other than that, yer list of wicked biscuits would be fair game and readily achieve the desired result. for a few years i lived in a co-op in a college town not far from here.. thinkin' we may have already met Haa..

generic mofozis this needs to be a primo week been crastinatin A/C project, myriad others, 12 pk of schtick razors.. finally gettin to next gen, cuttings not grapefruit diesel, but yeah of those too.. many plts under for a sec., 2day somebody gave me a phatt LG antique repro desk today jus hafta lift and move my back my back. it's all good got that belt can curl over 40o. peas

It is?
I thought it was from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair.

Anyone got a prepaid cell and the guts to call the City Attorney? I don't, and they won't answer my emails. I need a chicken avatar. All I asked was whether patients can grow their 12 plants without harassment from the city.
