A Michigan House committee Tuesday approved a measure that codifies restrictions that a landlord may put on renters who want to smoke medical marijuana.
The House Judiciary Committee, on an 8-to-3 vote, sent to the full house a bill which allows landlords to prohibit medical marijuana smoking and growing, if the prohibition is in the rental contract.
Sponsors cite cases where medical pot growers have damaged in the inside of rental units.
Some medical marijuana advocates blasted the bill, saying such language is already allowed under the law, and the measure is “a waste of time.”
The bill does not affect those renters who consume medical marijuana in edible form, or as topical creme.
