If your serious about moving up here more power to you. Just do some more research before you come up. Our attorney gen. is trying to change our laws as I speak. As far as I know all our school systems are going downhill also because of loss of state funding, but on a positive note the state made like 8 and a half million in it's first two years of licensing cards. I would wait and see what bill schuette is gonna do next before packing.
thanks for the insight. ive done my research, I dont have any illusions about michigan. Unfortunatly, i cant wait on the AG. im in hell where im at.
I was referring specifically to property taxes. The local governments derive almost all of their funding that way and I know after years in real estate that the property tax and school funding in this state is a poor way to do it. The schools are decent for the most part but you could be paying several thousand dollars per year less in a state like Colorado for a comparable property. The legal system is very hostile here and the new AG edict re-enforces the fact that there are groups in this state with the money and the power and the will to subvert what the citizens of rhis state have decided they want. With so much still up in the air and lots of test cases that haven't even made it through the legal system yet this isn't the safest medical state. The whole question of dispensaries being legal or not will end up costing people because it will narrow the meaning of transfers to patient and caregiver only.
Washtenaw county is your safest place right now for MMJ friendly environments. Like others have said, stay away from Oakland county. They have the money and the inclination to send everyone with marijuana to prison. The judges have disallowed even mentioning the words medical marijuana at trial and denied an affirmative defense. I did mention there was a hostile legal environment right? Anyway, we are the only state to lose population in the last census so it would be nice to fill up some of the empty houses. Best of luck to you.
I appreciate your thoughts on this, Im trying to get as many perspectives as I can.
no offense, but I dont give a fuck about property taxes. Im not in the business of property. paying a few extra grand a year doesnt bother me at ALL. been facing mandatory minimums and long sentences for many years here, property taxes are cheap at twice the price! I wouldnt grow and live in CO if the property taxes were free.
I hope dispensarys do stay open. I dont think there needs to be 850 in every town, but there should be enough to meet demand, and they shouldnt charge so fuckin much either, but its business.
the legal environment in michigan IS WAYYY better than where im at.
