City tackles medical marijuana ordinance amid debate
Marshall City Council discussed state rules and local control under the Medical Marijuana Licensing Act. Officials stressed that action is needed to avoid exclusionary zoning and preserve city oversight, with Attorney Jim Dyer urging careful adoption to attract qualified operators while preventing illegal sales. Council members defended their votes as civic duty amid public concerns and personal attacks, noting the ordinance targets growers processors and transporters and that a broader ban is not pursued.
