The Detroit News reports the Michigan Supreme Court has struck down the legality of medical marijuana dispensaries but upheld sales between caregivers and their own patients.
In an opinion released Friday, the high court said dispensaries are illegal because the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act of 2008 only offers protections to registered caregivers and their qualified patients.
The justices also ruled patient-to-patient transfers of medical marijuana are not legal under the voter-approved law, appearing to contradict a Court of Appeals decision last week that concluded there's nothing illegal about a medical marijuana user providing a small amount of pot to another registered user at no cost.
