Michigan MMJ

Thats a bit disturbing to hear!! I'm waiting for the Southfield Clinic to call me with my appt date, hopefully early next month. I was told the clinic will go over all of the laws but what good are they of the police won't follow them?

thats my point exactly. as of right now there is still a loop hole in the law that states you are able to posess seed or clone but it is still illigal to obtain them. so how do you get them without breaking the law. their are a lot of people that would be qualfied caregivers but most of them are scared to get involved. also a lot of doctors dont want to get involved because of the possible reprocussions. I still dont understand alot of the senior officers take on the situation. there is a group of people that meet in the state to help inform possible patience and it made the news with an officer stating " the nerve of these people we should bust the meeting and all involved". this is B.S. how can you have a state mandated law that is not properly followed by the people the tax payers pay to serve and protect the people. how long will the ignorance be tolerated before something is done about it is my question.

I was told the same bull shit! Michigan is just looking for revenue and if they can bust you that is just money they are making! I am also looking into getting my card but the parranoia wont let me....

I saw on the news a few weeks ago a lawyer was saying that if you become a MMJ patient here then you might as well hand over your drivers licence because we have DUID laws here. I can't remember exactly what he said the reason was but it was basically that after smoking pot because THC stays in your body for a day and a half that under our law you can't operate a motor vehicle for that amount of time or be arrested. And obviously if you are medicating with the herb then you are gonna use it more than that so it's like you can never drive again! Isn't that bullshit? This state is filled with fucking idiots!!

Your exactly right. Michigan is one of a few states that has DUID or "driving under the influence of drugs." If you get into a traffic accident or any other traffic related violation that they decide to drug test you on, and you have ANY traces of anything in your system, you loose you license for a year.

That is bull but I guess we have to start some where! I am seriously looking into it myself. I just am A very parinoid person, Has anyone looked into the whole care giving further? Here is another thing is were can you get your strains? Is it still illegal to order beans and have them shipped?

I have started to get things ready to be a caregiver and am looking for patients in the mid michigan area. I will be getting my cert from oaksterdam next month. I havent started any growth yet cause I dont have anyone interested thus far. If anyone is interested in a caregiver let me know. once we talk and come to an agreement then I will start the cycle which will take 3-4 months before harvest.

There are not any 'loopholes' in the LAW. You can't write a law that conflicts with federal law, and supplying seeds would conflict with federal Law. That is for after the meeting, not during.
Instead of coming in here whining about what some dick said, read what the law says so you can be part of the education team......OR you have let some underinformed asshole accomplish their purpose.
THE LAW SAYS any law that conflicts with this new law is changed to reflect the new law. The duid has to change to reflect this, internal possession of marijuana is in the definition of the Medical Use of marijuana. What LEO would have to do is prove that at the time of the arrest, you were under the influence of marijuana. Since your Lawyer has advised you the only test you are required to submit to is a breathalyzer, you are sorry, you will not be taking any other tests.

You need to get edgamacated. Learn what to say. 63% of the voters, that is over 3 million people, voted for this law. It passed in EVERY COUNTY in this State. 3 million voters said they want LEO to stop harassing Medical marijuana users. They told us they were just following the law, if you don't like it, change the LAW. We did that, the LAW has changed.

I have been stopped by LEO 3 times in the last two weeks, no one has messed with me. Of course being a 60 year old white man may have helped too.lol
In case you missed it, the law can be applied to any pending marijuana case if the defendant can get a recommendation from a DO or MD.

Now caregivers is another matter. You could cover yourself with an affirmative defense if....you have signed agreements with qualifying patients to provide them with Medical marijuana. According to the Prosecuting attorney for Berrien County, you could buy marijuana on the street and as soon as you possess it, the marijuana is legal, the person selling it may not be, but unless you tell us.....
This 'Fear Mongering' will only stop if we get ourselves educated. We have to know what the law says and why it says it. I like the one were they mention seeds, how do you get em. You go on the internet just like a million other folks do and order them. Do a search for marijuana seeds, there were 39,000 plus when I did that 3 years ago, I bet there are 50,000 by now. Or send me an address, use the PM's that is what they are for, and seeds will magically appear in your mail box.
