The next public comment period for implementation of Arizona’s medical marijuana law begins January 31 and is open until February 18.

​How, exactly, will Arizona’s new medical marijuana law — narrowly approved by state voters in last November’s election — play out? Nobody seems quite sure, as some law enforcement aspects have yet to be spelled out, and lawmakers are not quite ready to spell out just how police will deal with violators.

Determining standards for driving under the influence of marijuana is one issue currently at the forefront of the new law, according to Lake Havasu City Police Chief Dan Doyle, reports Jayne Hanson of the Havasu News-Herald.
“There is no threshold for drugs,” Doyle said. “We have a test for alcohol. But there is no threshold for marijuana.”
Another iffy scenario is possession of cannabis.

Lincoln Park, MI will allow the cultivation of medical marijuana, but not in residential neighborhoods.

​Licensed persons can now grow marijuana in certain sections of Lincoln Park, Michigan, according to an ordinance adopted Monday by the City Council.

Council members voted 6-1 for the ordinance, reports Nate Stemen at The Southgate News-Herald. Councilman Thomas Murphy was all alone in opposing the measure.
The ordinance restricts the growing of marijuana for medical use to an “industrial part of the city” that runs along John A. Papalas Drive from Southfield Road to Outer Drive.
An additional ordinance relating to growing marijuana, requiring growers to be registered with the state and licensed with the city, was also adopted.
