DEARBORN — The city’s chief judge last month made a ruling that could have big implications for the state’s two-year-old medical marijuana law.
In an order denying a motion to dismiss a possession of marijuana case, Judge Mark Somers wrote, “This court finds that in consequence of the lawful designation of marijuana as a Schedule I narcotic under the Controlled Substances Act, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act is rendered unconstitutional and void in its entirety by operation of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”
The Controlled Substance Act is a federal statute that classifies drugs into five categories, known as schedules, based on their potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine and LSD, are considered to be the most addictive and are not legal to prescribe.
The case stems from a traffic stop in January 2010. Dearborn police cited the defendant, Robert Brandon, for illegal possession of marijuana and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to court documents.

just legalize the stuff already.
So, what, can they smoke weed in MI or the opposite?
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. HOORAY Judge Mark Somers!
Right after everyone who buys alcohol does the same. Please don’t let your anger rule your judgement.
Hmmm, if it didn’t cross state lines, then what does the federal ....... oh, I forgot, the Constitution was obliterated about 70 years ago. My bad.
While we're at it, let's just legalize it all - crack, heroin and everything. What a wonderful world it would be.
“marijuana, cocaine and LSD, are considered to be the most addictive”
Stoopid statement, as far as pot and LSD are concerned! Not addictive at all. Coke? Don’t know. No experience with it.
“pot and LSD are concerned! Not addictive at all”
They are hugely addictive. Huge numbers of users start using them, then cannot stop. Hence, they are addictive.
“Huge numbers of users start using them, then cannot stop.”
Bull!
Of course it’s not bull! It is hard for people to get off marijuana. As evidenced by all the dopers. It may not be “physically addictive” in the same way as crack or cocaine, but the demand is no different.

*snicker*
Why hooray?
The same logic would apply to Obamacare...
Meaning...the feds can shove it down your throat.
“It is hard for people to get off marijuana.”
Your position has no basis in fact. I know many people who were “dopers” when they were young. They grew up and quit with no ill effects, or cravings, whatsoever. It’s much less “addictive”( truly not addictive at all) than alcohol, with no side effects like cirrhosis. Of course, if you’re a person with a disposition to getting blitzed, you’ll start with beer, and shuffle your way up to heroin. But that’s a personality disorder.
It’s hard to get off the automobile...as evidenced by all the people who drive cars...
Same logic.
You know what’s funny?
Kneejerk conservatives who think that only libtards smoke pot...
*cough cough*
*takes a swig of beer*
Yeah.....I side with Buckley...the poster boy for conservatism.
