According to The Detroit News, marijuana retail chain House of Dank claims in its suit the wording of the ordinance, approved last month by the City Council, violates Michigan’s 2018 recreational marijuana law.

House of Dank operates four MMJ dispensaries in Detroit and four adult-use stores in Michigan.
