Medical marijuana case goes to Michigan Supreme Court

**kountdown** · 03-29-2012, 09:29 AM

Here's the story from the Lansing State Journal:

This is the big one that will determine if patients can sell their marijuana to each other and will have huge ramifications on the economic side of medical marijuana. I would like to see the appeals court decision overturned because I feel it creates criminals. However, the Republican to Democrat ratio is 4:3 so my prediction is the case will not be overturned.

What are your predictions or thoughts on the matter? The thread is open for discussion.

yes. the CA case from Mt P is Moving on up, to the Top. Lets hope this is a good play. the SC does so far seem to be leaning on the side of the Act and what the Act currently states. WE can only hope for the best at this point with the 2 cases they have yet to rule on, and this one now coming up.

Timmah, what do you mean by " the SC does so far seem to be leaning on the side of the Act and what the Act currently states."

Stow, Watch the two cases the State Supreme Court heard in January. The have not yet ruled on them.
I believe it is the King Case, and the Blysthma Case they heard. Pay attention to the body language, and the way the Justices approach the Defense with almost a leading hand, while they all but chastise the Prosecution promotion of Bill Schuettes Opine of what the Act really says. By my reading of their questions, body language, and demeanor, the SC justices are leaning toward the side of the Peoples Vote, and i would say they will Uphold the Act, as WE the People Passed it.

atm, we are looking at a mass protest april 17 (i posted this up in another thread) This is the week prior to the Bills Vote on the House floor.
Please look at every bit of evidence of what is coming for yourself before you make a choice.

choosing not to decide is still a choice.

You sound optimistic. I am too. What do you hope for as to the decisions?

How are the section 4 and section 8 issues in both cases going to be resolved...if done as our law is written?
Is Kings dog kennel a locked and secure location?
Did Bylsma have a co-op..and a co-op is ok?
Was Bylsma over on plant count? Or do the 86 plants divide up between the card holders?
Do co-ops need separate rooms for all members, or can they grow under one roof?

I think those are the main issues the court is deciding on. But in a best scene scenario, what do you think happens?

personally, i would like to see the SC uphold the Act as we the people voted it in in 2008. I have read the 08 MMM Act from top to bottom dozens of times. It is a VERY Clear living document, presented to the State, and Ratified to Law by a vote of the Citizens of this state.

That is what I would like to See.
in this case, CA, i presume the SC will uphold PT to PT transfer WITH Remuneration. I suspect they WILL uphold the CG/Pt transfer model, and i feel they will uphold the CoA ruling that 3rd party transfers with remuneration are not legal.. ie If i grow it, i must transfer it to the end user. I can not transfer to you bob, and you then transfer to gladstoned. IF gladstoned is out, and he needs meds, he has to see me the grower, not you the 3rd party patient that transfers..

its what i expect. but its way to early to tell. Need to see the SC Justices, body language, and questions presented to get a feeling on how they seem to be leaning..

you see bob. For me, this is about WHAT is right, not Who man. because everybody is right, while everybody is wrong, BUT WHAT IS RIGHT is what is right, no PERSON can take away the RIGHT thing to do, they can only change it to the best thing to do for THEM... Im about the RIGHT THING to do for Us All. not a few with back room agendas.
