Voters in Pickney, Livingston County, Mich., on Nov. 3, ended a ban on marijuana businesses, according to Livingston Daily. The ban had followed adult-use legalization in the state; Michigan voters’ approved Proposal 1, which legalized adult-use marijuana for people age 21 or older, in November 2018. As Livingston Daily reported:
“Pickney will be the first municipality in Livingston County to allow marijuana businesses after voters approved a proposal to end a ban on such establishments.
Voters approved the measure, 54.3% to 45.7%. It passed by 117 votes, with 743 votes in favor of the proposal and 626 against it.
