Michigan marijuana: No medical pot use allowed in parking lot, says ruling

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Prosecutors have been given the green light to pursue charges against medical marijuana users who are smoking pot in their car in parking lots, clarifying a complicated piece of the Michigan marijuana regulatory puzzle.
