all the news reports-

ive been reading are reporting that a repub representative,
,
Mike Callton
Financial Services Committee Chairman

District 87, Nashville.


will be introducing a dispensary bill, yesterday or today. from all i can find (his website), the bill is a year old, drafted after the court of appeals ruling, but not introduced. here is a quote of his feelings from may 3 '12
CALLTON INTRODUCES BILL TO REGULATE MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

May 3, 2012
State Rep. Mike Callton has introduced legislation to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries, or "provisioning centers," so that they are clean and safe for all Michigan patients.
"Since medical marijuana became legal in Michigan, dispensaries are popping up left and right and we need to make sure these places pass the grandma test," Callton said. "If you wouldn't feel safe having your grandma go to one of these places to pick up her medical marijuana, as if she went to a pharmacy, then it needs to be cleaned up or closed down."
Callton has visited several dispensaries during the past year as part of his research, and says that some were very professional and reminiscent of a medical office, while a few others left him feeling unsafe. Some are excellent models of a provisioning center, while others are unsafe for the public and do not dispense marijuana in a regulated environment.
"This isn't about restricting anyone's freedom or access to a substance that is now legal for those with a prescription. This is about making sure patients are safe and the product is safe," Callton said.
Callton's measure would mandate that dispensaries, or provisioning centers, only supply marijuana products and that they cannot be consumed on site. It also provides for local control of dispensaries and reduces overages of marijuana by allowing caregivers to sell their excess product to dispensaries. The bill also prohibits the centers from being within 1,000 feet of schools.
"I have worked with the medical marijuana community on this measure, and I think that those who genuinely want to raise the bar for the medical use of marijuana will support this bill. The only people who stand to lose from this bill are those who are running an illegal operation or dispensing an unsafe product."
Callton has submitted his legislation and hopes it will be addressed by the House Judiciary Committee, as other medical marijuana bills have been.

other than this, i haven't been able to find any links to the actual text. maybe one of you guys knows more. timmah? from a purely logistical standpoint, if they were gonna make a power move, now would be the time. it would give the opposition zero time to organize, making it look as though they have the solutions, when in reality it's a power grab.

yea-

pretty good. it spells out the difference between a dispensary(provision center), and a caregiver and patient. it limits the provision center, but puts no limit on patient to patient, ot caregiver to patient. connected through registry or not. while it does open the door to commercialism i am a capitalist and believe the small guy is the leader.

overall i like this. it makes medicine readily available, will provide for a reasonable market, and keeps the small caregiver more powerful than the provision center.

restricting advertising of marihuana. The rules shall not prohibit

Entries shall be maintained for at least 90 days. For any

municipal law to ensure compliance with this act, but may be stored

off-site. Confidential dispensing records are exempt from

disclosure under the freedom of information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL

identification card.

([FONT=&quot]iii[/FONT]) Present a copy of the completed registry identification

card application and proof of receipt by the state department that

processes medical marihuana applications at least 20 days before

the date of the requested sale or transaction.

(c) If the person requesting marihuana purports to be a

provisioning center agent, make a diligent, good-faith effort to

verify that the person is a provisioning center agent for a

provisioning center that is allowed to operate by a municipality.

(14) Before marihuana is dispensed or sold from a provisioning

center, a provisioning center agent shall make a diligent, good-

faith effort to determine that the person named in the registry

identification card or other documentation submitted under

subsection (13) is the person seeking to obtain marihuana, by

examining what the provisioning center agent reasonably believes to

[FONT=&quot]

be valid government-issued photo identification.

convicted of an excluded felony offense shall not serve as a

not really-

localities are supposed to make the decisions. if yours decides not to play, move a town over.

i guess that's harsh, but is the way it's supposed to work. in the up moving a town over is difficult, it would then be the task of the constituents to properly place their elected local officials. or at least be in their face everyday letting them know they are not following the will of the people.

Nobody has any issues with the fact municipalities can decide that caregivers can not supply the centers?
Where did you see that?

Maybe I missed it, but the only thing I read was that municipalities can decide whether or not they want dispensaries located in their town, but i didn't see anything about them getting to decide if caregivers can supply the dispensaries.

Maybe I missed it, but the only thing I read was that municipalities can decide whether or not they want dispensaries located in their town, but i didn't see anything about them getting to decide if caregivers can supply the dispensaries.
I was going to say the same thing, I didn't see anything saying a dispensary must be 100% self supplied.

The only thing I don't like about this is that I don't see anything that protects p2p or farmers markets, but everything pertaining to actual dispensaries seems good.
 
This totally affirms everything I was thinking. Michigan let's people spend a ton of money putting together non profits then they declare them illegal, than they take it over... They see how much money is coming in, and why accept taxes, when they can take the whole kit and kaboodle...

it specifically makes-

p2p legal. near the end. it also states that if a locality chooses to not allow the provision center, then transfer in that locality could also be restricted.

i think.
