Legality of Fundamental changes to08 MMM Act, Peoples Initiatives and Michigan

it late, im a bit tired now, so im going to try to catch four hours or so. but i put this in one of the other threads, but it really deserves its own. I have more info to post up, like a Michigan Supreme Court ruling that indicates how a Peoples initiative is SUPPOSED to be interpreted. It clearly defines how the words of that Peoples Initiative are supposed to be generally understood by ALL bodies of government that may need to read and perhaps make rulings from the initiative. This is where our current SC from what i see is coming from, and why I am confident, they will uphold the Act, As we the people passed it in 2008. When you read it as a simple living document, and read the words with a very black and white mindset, giving each word the most general understanding of any definition of the words used in the Act, as would be understood per the Body of Government (which in this case, is the Citizens) that Ratifies the Initiative to Law, and in this case, to the State of Michigan Constitution. That simply means any word of the act must be given the most basic understanding of the words used, thus the most basic understanding the Citizens of the State would give to the words used like Bona Fide. Once I get and post the SC ruling, 1967, Kraft Foods Vs The State of Michigan i think it was, this top paragraph will come together, then take that SC decision, and please immediately after reading it, go and re read the 08 MMM Act, with that mindset and see if it in not fundamentally, a well written law. Yes, im not blind, a few minor glitches, but NOTHING to cause the current clusterfuck we have going on here in my beloved Birth State.

BS/RS and the new republican guard take office. Up until now, most things were running pretty good. Yes there were some criminals, show me a occupation with out any. fact is you can not. even the Holiest Temple of Christianty, the Roman Church, is rife with filth and child molesting sick motherfuckers that do not deserve to breath for the atrocities they committed upon innocent children. Criminals are criminals, and like good people, they come from ALL walks of life, and in all corners of the earth.

but BS and RS come in, and all hell breaks loose. Violations are made in moving authority from MDCH, to LARA, which was not legally done. the fact that the Legislation has to make and ratify and amendment to reflect that change in the act, while the MDCH is still an active, functioning state body, is the very proof of it.

the money sent in, which was supposed to reside with the MDCH/MMM Program, was illegally moved to the State general fund, no longer in the MMMP department as was originallyto be done, to easily and immediately fund any administrative needs like hiring of personal to keep up with demand, or to purchase equipment as needed or as old equipment they were given to use failed. (new Printers ect) Then enter BS on the pubic specticle (TV) stating how we the people were too stupid to understand what we voted for. That the people of Michigan only meant for those near death, or those that were house bound and near dead to use cannabis and only an end of life treatment. ie, last 3 months before you die.

The republican guard need to cover the govs ass here. Yes he can make administrative changes that fundamentally restructures the State government, but he can not make changes of the nature like the MMM Act, which require very limited, and specific things to be done to a people initiated law, which is what the MMM Act is. The governor does not have the power, atleast here in Michigan, to just take a people initiative, and re write it, nor can he, or anyone in the state, many any fundamental changes to a people initiative. Changing the Department in which the MMMA resides, is a fundamental change, just as redirecting the funding (our cert and re cert/ cg fees) away from the program, to the States General fund is a fundamental change, thus Illegal. It takes a 3/4 super majority to make ANY fundamental change like our dear new gov did with these two (oh those are just simple administrative ) changes. Restructuring the way 70% of the States government works is not administrative in nature, it is Fundamental.

Now lets move on to Mr. Schuette, or Bull Schuitte as he is becoming better known as.

Read his Opine of what he MANDATES, WE the People Meant when we said yes by 63% to medical cannabis.

Have you read that opine ? Its a Dandy> I just linked it to Huckleberry about an hr or 3 ago. He may still be going through it. You literally need to pick your jaw up after about ever 2nd line in it.

if you havn't curled up with a good sci fi book lately, then this is a great one to read in the dark of night.

Its a lovely story were we all go to jail or die, and only a few weeks, perhaps a couple months before we are dead, we can maybe then go on a wild goose hunt with no advertising allowed by CG, to find a CG, submit paperwork to assign that CG as your caregiver, and get authorized after waiting 21 days to get your card, Just so the CG can START to grow your meds. Because they cant supply YOU meds from somebody elses plants. So that means you as a dying patient with maybe 3 months to live, you must wait for the CG to plant, grow, harvest, dry, and process your medicine for you before you can actually use it. If you more luckly than my 2 sister, you may get to smoke a joint just before you get that last good night morphene patch on. and bob, im not fear mongering here, If you can find Huckleberry, and you can pick him up off the floor, or you may need to go out and find him, because after reading Bill Schuette's Clearing the Air Seminars, he may be a tad miffed. Or at least, I expect him to be after reading that sick tyrannical drivel our state AG wrote... Now on these "Clearing the Air Seminars Mr Schuette held 4 of last year. You did hear about them didn't you. These were government meetings, with only government employees and legislators, senators, LEO and member of PAM (Prosecutors Association of Michigan) that initially were supposed to be held behind closed doors, even though they were supposed to be public open door meetings. There are Emails that prove this, and I Believe that info is in the opening pages of the pdf i linked below. Only when it was leaked to a couple local news agencies, did Mr Schuette and the AG office, publically state they were in fact haveing Meetings on how to address the MMM Law, where in fact the only information given was how to arrest Patients and Caregivers, and how to effectively kill medical cannabis in the community by prosecuting every person found to have cannabis, with or with out a registration card with the MMMP. They out lined how to close legal dispensaries and get the legal parameters to close them under the PHC, as a public nuisance, not under any criminal activity where these cases would be heard in Circut Court, instead of Civil Court. Don't you find it interesting BS and others are using a civil court to close what is said to be a criminal enterprise? why have multiple dispensaries stay open, as well as at least four separately mainained farmers market around the state operating even today?

Maybe if you read it yourself, some of you may understand my level of mistrust of our government, over all frustration over this, and many other current situations. Hell you may even stand beside me screaming at the top of your lungs with me bob. That is unless my jeers of you being LEO or a BS plant are not unfounded. Because there really is no way for a True Michigander, let alone a true american could read that shit and say, OH YES, this is our savior, we need BS to be all he can be....

i ll tell you all the same thing I told Huck in a PM, word for word. except i ll add some may need a barf bucket.
If after reading this, your not at least pissed off, i can have no remorse for you.

words of advice. make 2 pots of coffee, and put together 3 or 4 prerolls. You ll need to smoke 2 by the end of the preface, take a piss, and smoke one more before you read the actual Law we have, and what he says we meant for it to be. YOU ll need that last joint to be UBER KILLER DANK to stop you from crying yourself to sleep, or getting your shit ready to march on Lansing.....if your not to far pissed for that.

Ready for it? Last words of adviice. are you SURE You want to read this? You have been warned, it Is not for the Faint of Heart (and this is why I fight so hard).

I've read his entire opinion..a few times now. There is no doubt that Mr. Bill wishes to limit the act as much as possible. His opinion, is also considered State law, until legislation defeats him, or clarifies the law. Timmah, you seem to take a position equally extreme the other direction. The key lies in the middle, and I don't think you accept that. 3,000,000 people voted "yes" to this law. Only 125,000 or so are trying to use it. you claim to speak as the voice for those who voted it in..what you are doing is speaking for those 125,000 using the law. What about those 2,875,000 voters that Haven't signed up for a card? Are you speaking for the elderly that had no intention for the law to mean legalization? What about the medical community, many of whom approve of medical cannabis, yet can't recommend it due to Hospital policy. ? Think you are speaking for them? Do you think they envisioned Farmers Markets? Do you think they envisioned caregivers giving patients 1oz per month for the rights to the patients plants? The law as written, never gives the patients plants to a caregiver, it allows him to cultivate FOR the patient, in return for compensation for the effort to give care, not to sell the patients overages. You consistently talk out of both sides of your mouth.

I appreciate your dedication to keeping as much freedom in the law as possible. But WE the people includes millions that voted for a Bona Fide medical exception to a federal law. You do fear monger, you do try and incite. You look for martyrs where none exist.

I would once again encourage you to channel all that energy you have towards negotiation and compromise.

You interpretation of the law as written is just as skewed as Mr. Bills...just in the other direction.

The law, as written, clearly states Severe AND Chronic as the threshold for "pain" to get a certification.

Have you looked up the definition to those words? And the law as WE the people voted it in requires BOTH to be present. You can't hold anyone else hostage to the law AS WRITTEN, if you can't hold yourself to the same standard.

To the letter of the law, as you want to hold everyone, Pain has to be "severe pain" which in a medical definition is characterized pain at a 7 out of 10 level, AND Chronic..meaning it dosen't go away, or at the minimum recurs extremely often.

So certainly you would agree that level 7 pain that doesn't go away is the standard for pain, wouldn't you? I mean it is the standard set by the law, as WE the people passed it.

Someone with chronic level 7 pain, would basically be disabled...I mean, that is the threshold, as written.

Bob you are so wrong about the AG opinion being law. It's even stated within those 138 pages that it's not, but tends to be persuasive in court.

Also I've been staying away from that train wreck of a thread called chronic pain. I think I followed for a little while, but at sifting Pages and pages of BS and I don't recall one discussion on how pain is quantified medically speaking. IMO there is no good way to do this and more often than not rests in the doctor making a judgement call. Ok now, on a scale of 1-10 tell me how bad it hurts...real scientific:roll: but if it's good enough for pain killers it's good enough for cannabis.

I went through the whole thing well worth the read. The AG's opinion gives LEO a tool make the arrest. The courts will decide if you complied with the act. Who wants to go through that. What stuck out in my mind is his opinion on caregivers. The AG believes each patients plants must be in a seperate lock room. Most caregivers are not doing this.

just like every one tries to argue that the COA ruling affects how people operate and made it legal to only transfer to your 5 patients...

BULLSHIT.

"Also, in regard to § 4(e), the parties disagree whether a registered
primary caregiver may receive compensation for the costs associated with assisting any
registered qualifying patient in the “medical use” of marihuana or whether a registered primary
caregiver may only receive compensation for assisting the qualifying patients with whom he or
she is connected through the MDCH registry process. Because of our conclusion that the
“medical use” of marihuana does not include the “sale” of marihuana, we need not, and therefore
do not, resolve this dispute."

i would LOVE to see farmers markets open all over the state and just see the courts fill with cases. but people are too timid and ready to run for the hills again.

His opinion, is also considered State law, until legislation defeats him, or clarifies the law. WRONG BOB. His Opinion is given to him by the Constitution and the Office of the AG. No his opinion to change, those are OURS)

Timmah, you seem to take a position equally extreme the other direction. Correct. I stand and speak for the Constitutional Law our Country and State are founded on Agent.


The key lies in the middle Only for DEA claiming to be just one of the only legal patients, in an attempt to divert attention to your cover. and I don't think you accept that. I have honestly accepted you are a Govnernment mule. 3,000,000 people voted "yes" to this law. 3.68 millon more specifically Only 125,000 or so are trying to use it. you claim to speak as the voice for those who voted it in..what you are doing is speaking for those 125,000 using the law. Wrong, I speak for the 9.87 million residents of the Great State of Michigan Federal Agent. What about those 2,875,000 voters that Haven't signed up for a card? Problems with math?, 3.68 million voters, less 125.000 would be 3.53 million voters. OOPs Did we just expose a chink in your cover? Are you speaking for the elderly that had no intention for the law to mean legalization? this law has nothing to do with legalization. that is coming in November with an overwhelming show of support. With the 3MA now back on track with the remove of JOKE Cain (Joke, Is this you maybe?) we have already started re connecting with EVERY other State Organization that supports all patients and all the many uses cannabis can but used for, from medicine, to rope, to CHEMICALS, to building materials to food, and even fuel... the Mayans were right, 2-21-2012 is the Day the world gets it re commitment to Reefer Madness, turned 180* around. I ll call it now, so you can set back come Dec 22, in your little agent cubical, with your simple minded agent bosses, and go, IS THAT TIMMAHH FUCKING JESUS OR WHAT? What about the medical community, many of whom approve of medical cannabis, yet can't recommend it due to Hospital policy. ? Think you are speaking for them? Yes, I absolutely do. IF THEY Currently speak up, they get sanctioned by big Pharma. They get Fired from their Positions, and the get their medical licenses revoked due to your illigimate War on Drugs, in you little agencies attempt to quell the sheeple into just chillaxing and letting you continue to tell us the Constitution is only a piece of paper or A nice piece of Fictional Literature. Do you think they envisioned Farmers Markets? Ofcourse they all did. How esle were Patients and Caregiver supposed to offer their overages to other patients or caregivers that do not grow Agent Dumbass (or Agent Joke Cain, lol idiot)? Do you think they envisioned caregivers giving patients 1oz per month for the rights to the patients plants? Ofcourse they didn't bob. they envisioned caregivers giving their patients their fill of meds up to 2.5 ounces at any given point. One month and one patient, that may be 2.5 oz a day, or for another patient that could be .25 oz a month. All depends on every patients individual need. IF you were Actually a Michigan Medical Marihuana Patient, you would fully understand that. The law as written, never gives the patients plants to a caregiver, Add a bit of truth to keep that cover low it allows him ( IT ALLOWS THEM or IT ALLOWS THE CAREGIVER, not only a racist, but a chauvinistic pig ass well?) to cultivate FOR the patient, (More Minimal Truth for the cover) in return for compensation for the effort to give care, not to sell the patients overages. Again you prove you Alliance to the Agency you represent. HOW else can a Truly Compassionate, Low cost medical supply be met, maintained and implemented through out the entire state of Michigan withOUT the need for Dispensaries or farmers markets? You are mimicking Bull Schuittes Opine from the Clearing the Air closed door seminars (well closed only until I started the Saginaw Protest last Year on November 11th to bring attention to Publically Funded Closed Door Meetings. (unfortunately, I had to allow Joke to get involved to keep getting info for myself) You consistently talk out of both sides of your mouth. You Know, you have said that a few times since last Tuesday in our exchanges. Funny thing is Joke Cain has been saying that exact same phrase over the last few days as well. Joe, are you really an Undercover DEA AGENT? it certainly would make many peculiar odd ends tie up together. Especially over the last few months. Things that make you go hmmm

I appreciate your dedication to keeping as much freedom in the law as possible. Now you know you are blatantly lying. But WE the people includes millions that voted for a Bona Fide medical exception to a federal law. you realize you have just stuck your foot into it deep this time. Agent Pig, Explain to the Members reading here, How the States Voters, Could vote in a Constitutional Amendment, that used the word 'bona fide', without having and maintaining a clear and concise understanding of what the term bona fide means at the time of petition signature, or when voting on the ballot? The Term Bona FIde, is Simply what the Webster's Dictionary Defines it as: Honest, Real, Innocent, With out Deceit, is that simple enough for you to understand who ever you actually are.

You do fear monger,You say Fear Monger I say point out Astonishing facts and interesting tidbits of truths recently uncovered you do try and incite.Yes, Yes, I do, I absolutely try to incite the Citizens of Michigan, the United States, and the rest of the world to stand up and push back to protect, fight for, and secure their liberties and freedoms from the world you and your little pig fucker buddies want to keep the common man out of . You look for martyrs where none exist. I seek the Martyrs you created. Interesting coincidental factiod, I Am the Martyr Joke Cain Created for the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association. Chew on that Joke.

I would once again encourage you to channel all that energy you have towards negotiation and compromise. Negotiations sure. But NO COMPROMISE, Not one Step back. Not one Comma, Not one Period. End of that Discussion. I will never turn over the peoples inalienable rights to you. Father gave them to us, his children, and the citizens of this great State Codified them to the Constitution of the State to protect the children, they are OURS to have, protect, and cherish.

You interpretation of the law as written is just as skewed as Mr. Bills...just in the other direction. It is only skewed to you as you just have no room in your tiny mind for logic and Inalienable Rights of the People and the complexities of Constitutional Law.

The law, as written, clearly states Severe AND Chronic as the threshold for "pain" to get a certification. It sure does. and Doctors are Licensed every day by the State of Michigan to make such Professional Diagnosis.

Have you looked up the definition to those words? Severe as in Serverly Conservative like Mitt Romney (admit it your voting for Willard arnt you) No need to look them up, I'll give you the General interpretation of the Citizens of the State of Michigan. Severe: Drastic, Beyond Normal, Extreme. Cronic: immediate, sharp, deep, sudden, penetrating. And the law as WE the people voted it in requires BOTH to be present. SEE my comment relating to Licensed Drs in the State of Michigan, 2 replys above. You can't hold anyone else hostage to the law AS WRITTEN, But you have no issues doing that your self (Are you SURE your not Joke Cain) if you can't hold yourself to the same standard. Unlike you whatever your real name is, I hold my self to a higher standard. even higher than that MENSA Score I have over you.

To the letter of the law, as you want to hold everyone, Pain has to be "severe pain" which in a medical definition is characterized pain at a 7 out of 10 level, AND Chronic..meaning it dosen't go away, or at the minimum recurs extremely often. You again prove your own stupidity and blow your cover. You are assuming everyone accesses the level of personal pain on equal terms. Simply Impossible to make any Set standard in which to prosecute Citizens Under the MMM Act of 2008.

So certainly you would agree that level 7 pain that doesn't go away is the standard for pain, wouldn't you? No I certainly would Not. No real medical Doctor would either. I have medical training in my background. You should of had your wife do better research into me, She failed you. Where pain is considered, their can be no Standard, Only a Guide broadly outlining the Individuals ability to personally estimate a persons own pain level. I mean it is the standard set by the law, as WE the people passed it. Yet again, you show you just fucking unbelievable lack of knowledge about Michigan Law, and the Michgan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008, passed by 2/3rds of the voters in the State.( You make these innuendos on purpose don't you? or would you disagree Joke?)

First, the '08 MMMA does NOT describe pain, chronic pain, or severe pain, nor levels that determine chronic and/or severe pain. The act only outlines Cronic and/or Severe Pain as each being one of the Qualifying conditions when associated with Server and Debilitating Conditions (From MAMMORY just for you boob).

Second, it is the Michigan Board of Medicine, now as regulated by the LARA Department, that Determine what qualifies as Chronic and/or Severe in the Michigan Medical Community, Laws, and Regulations Doctors must follow. Not Patients or Caregivers, or Even non Registered, Non Recommended Cannabis Patients with in the State of Michigan The Only Criteria to have the RIGHT to assert a Section 8 medical defense is to be a Citizen of the State of Michigan Period. End of Story. Next thing boob will say is Section 8 is only useable as outlined in section 7, and only needs 3 of the 4 pertinant criteria outlined in Section 4, creating a situation where your buddies, the JUDGE, takes away a law abiding citizens inalienable rights and dissallows them to use an defense as Constitutionally Gaurenteed by the Ratification of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008 as to the Constitution of the State of Michigan.


Someone with chronic level 7 pain, would basically be disabled...I mean, that is the threshold, as written. Correct, but ONLY in the Regulatory Outlines as defined by the LARA/Michigan Board of Medicine, for ANY Doctor that has passed the State Exam, and has been issued a License to Practice Medicine In the State of Michigan
Ahhhh what a great day to "Get your Vape On" these little units will rip you rightously. You recreational users will LOVE THEM.

Man, been a long time sense i used facts along with other facts, and put it together with stinging satire, and compose a rebuttle of such epic, and hilarious nature.
God its GOOD to be FREE!

Especially of Joke Cain being CEO of the 3MA. I cant WAIT to officially FIRE his ass! I am So looking forward to moving on with the rest of the states Cannabis Organizations fixing the Multitude of fuckups Joke Cainkle Soar created.

You prove your mal intent. My post was respectful, and simply an alternate theory. Yours is hateful, and avoids answering my points. The law must be interpretd using the most basic understanding of the wording, Your quote. "Severe and chronic"...pretty simple words..why can't you define them?

but they have subverted the law, used propaganda and lies to get their way and use arresting patients as scare tactics and willfully break the law(s)

... i have not seen you argue anything less than to give up the rights patients have acquired and to give them away in a compromise and with a smile.


like you in an argument, i was taught to stand my ground and fight the good fight.

sooo lets move this Timmah and Bob sparring match over to positive and forward momentum for the community.


we've assessed the "enemy" we knows their tactics, they've done it for years now and the BEST thing they have done, it to cause the entire marijuana community to fracture here in MI.

it's like the soviet satellite states fighting over scraps and power.

Me too..and the best way to do that is to push for positive bills to define the law, not try and simply block the negative. Bills will be passed..they always are, especially when a new law comes into play. Rather than try to get the legislature to leave the law as is (which won't happen) format positive bills to clarify the law.

As far as not seeing me do anything..go back to Timmahhs thread about "call your rep to vote no on these 4 bills"..gee, I thought my argument to fight for positive wording,rather than just vote no, did prove to be effective in the end result...and I got my teeth kicked in for having that opinion.

I was in on the vote no thread also. But I whole heartedly agree with tomcat. I'm going to say it again we need to start flexing our civil responsibly and use the protections this law affords us the police are breaking our law worse than any patients ever have. We need to sue civilly any department who abuses thier power. That is the only way we will get full protections. It's just most people cannot afford or don't realize they have that option.
