Marijuana business hours

A Westland resident asked the council to vote no on extending marijuana shop hours, saying the current 10-to-9 hours plus online, curbside, and delivery options are plenty.

A representative of Common Citizen Live Cannabis said delivery and other options aren't legally available before 10 a.m. either, and noted customers being turned away at the current hours.

Despite calling himself pro-marijuana, he opposed extended hours, citing high-THC products, health harms like cannabis hyperemesis, and 'social decay.'

A 30-year resident, asked by her neighbor to attend, worried an 8 a.m. opening near John Glenn High School could put cannabis in young people's hands.

Pressed council members on whether they personally smoke marijuana and argued a two-hour change could cost lives on Ford Road.

Returned in general comment to stand with Mr. Tubbs, saying just laws serve the community's best interests and the two-hour change wasn't needed.
