Voters in the village of Constantine on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, decided not to halt recreational marijuana sales.
The battle at the ballot box over recreational marijuana sales was the only item on the ballot that’s exclusive to voters who live in Constantine.
If certified, the referendum vote would determine that recreational marijuana sales, a billion dollar industry in Michigan, would not be banned from within the village limits.
If voters had approved the amendment, dispensaries would have only been able to sell medical marijuana in Constantine.
The ballot item on the May 4, 2021 election sought to amend an existing ordinance, asking Constantine voters: “Shall Constantine adopt an ordinance completely prohibiting adult-use recreational marihuana establishments in the village?”
