Commission extends marijuana provisioning permit and approves temporary consumption event

The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to extend local approvals for two marijuana-related items: a one-year extension of a conditional provisioning center permit for 222 Companies LLC and a temporary on‑site marijuana consumption event permit for Pleasantrees Cannabis Company.

222 Companies LLC was granted an extension of its conditional provisioning center retail establishment permit to March 6, 2025, to allow more time to complete construction, obtain state inspections and secure the state license required for full operation. City staff told the commission that 222 Companies has completed construction at 75 Mary Street and inspections conducted the prior week should yield a certificate of occupancy soon. The permit extension passed on a roll call; the transcript records Commissioner McGarity voting no while other commissioners approved the extension.

Separately, the commission approved a resolution allowing RGB Enterprises LLC, doing business as Pleasantrees Cannabis Company, to hold a temporary marijuana consumption event at private property on specified March dates (rescheduled from earlier approved dates) subject to the city's conditions and state approval. Staff reminded commissioners that representatives of the county sheriff's office have inspection rights during hours of operation and that state approval is also required.

Commissioners asked about the number of state-authorized dispensaries in the city; staff said three currently have state permits. Members discussed that permitting and construction schedules generally determine when new state licenses are issued.

The actions were procedural approvals under the city's marijuana business ordinance; they do not change zoning or the city's regulatory framework but provide conditional local authorization pending state licensing and inspections.
