Local prosecutors lauded a Michigan appeals court decision today ruling that medical marijuana cannot be sold through private shops, essentially banning all sales of pot and the businesses trying to make a profit from it.

The three-judge panel ruled on a case from Isabella County, where medical marijuana cardholders sold pot to each other through a dispensary called Compassionate Apothecary in Mount Pleasant. The court ruled that dispensaries violate the state’s public health code of not allowing for such places, as well as the 2008 medical marijuana law passed by the voters.

Only cardholders or their registered primary caregiver will be allowed to grow marijuana. The court held that the law allowed for delivery and transfer of marijuana, but not the sale of it.
