WYOMING, Mich. (AP) -- Marijuana advocates have vowed to boot a west Michigan city council out of office after the members unanimously voted to ban medical marijuana.
Wyoming Mayor Jack Poll says city council's recent vote to make medical marijuana illegal within city limits is "not a vote against the people that need this medication."
He says medical marijuana should be dispensed like other legal drugs.
Michigan voters approved medical marijuana use in 2008. Federal law still prohibits the sale and cultivation of the drug.
John Ter Beek is a lawyer who has sued the city and tells WOOD-TV he plans to recall council members.
In Lansing, the city council voted unanimously to freeze new medical marijuana businesses in the city until July 2011.
