Yep, that too.
Thats true
If you have a card in Michigan as a patient or provider
You can be charged
Its discretionary
Michigan marijuana governing commission
Three out of Five members are law enforcement
JMHO.....give it at most two decades to get there.
Furthermore, if you are a rec or med pot user and a hazard prompts a loss and consequent claim under a homeowners policy, you will be denied coverage.
How do I know? “I know things.”
Those who grow or use marijuana should be very, very wary of the corner you’re painting yourselves into by believing the hyperbole under which you are now “legal.”
Insofar as this article is concerned, I simultaneously-object to the reckless manner in which it has been “legalized” and the fact that the “War on Drugs” is used to fuel “the machine” at the public’s expense. I don’t know what the solution is, but it should either be regulated like alcohol nationwide (another bone of contention) or NOT...certainly not this patchwork BS which has created its own hazards (banking problems, proliferating illegal interstate trade, insurance problems, road safety problems due to lack of testing, etc.)...
But when you go to buy a gun from an FFL (Nics) and if the state has told the Feds you have a medical marijuana prescription. You immediately are disapproved from your purchase
Because he thinks when it comes to "medical weed", one should be able to self-diagnose and self-medicate with no strings attached....
Because of GOVT, We are no longer a PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY Nation (not prosecuting based on HARM & govt being the biggest abuser of Rights).
Yet, FR seem to enjoy ‘debating’ from the Socialist talking-points. The issue is moot. Get Fedzilla back to its A1S8 size, THEN see what points need hammering out.
Trumps own Justice Department? That's funny!
Trump's Justice Department's primary mission is to undermine the President at any and every opportunity. Pursuing the politically unpopular policy of cracking down on state-enacted marijuana decriminalization efforts is consistent with Justice's efforts to hobble President Trump.
I started investing in medical marijuana stocks in July. The four companies in that sector I’m still holding are up 14.4%, 23.6%, 31.3% and 186.1% respectively. I could show larger gains but I’ve been adding to the pile along the way and I cashed out early on a couple of big gainers. I don’t think the feds will go after medical MJ.
Thanks for the clarification. :)
“The hope is these ghouls who are against medical marijuana wake up someday screaming for the relief it can bring.”
In my experience, many anti-cannabis folks would let themselves die before they would ever consider using the “devil’s lettuce”.
That said, I expect many current prohibitionists will one day be thankful medical marijuana exists. Either for themselves or a suffering loved one.
While I don't smoke or vape marijuana, CBD oil is about the only thing that relieves the severe pain of my neuropathy as a result of the Ankylosing Spondylitis I have.
Neurontin, Lyrica and other drugs haven't worked. My own doctor describes me as non-responsive to traditional treatments for neuropathy. CBD oil which is an extract of the marijuana plant and does NOT contain THC or anything that would make me "high" is the only thing that's given me any relief in the past year.
If this gets taken away I really don't know what I'm going to do.
I have a friend who opened a pot shop after state legalization of retail sales here. Now, pot has been legal to grow and possess for personal use in this state since 1975, but legal commercial production and retail sales was just enacted by initiative two years ago. It took 18 months to jump through all the hoops to open a store; lots of roadblocks at the state and local levels.
Now, the banks will not do business with this entrepreneur friend of mine. He has to do everything with cash. Try that sometime. No personal checks, no electronic transfers, no credit cards. Hard enough in your personal life. Think about paying suppliers, facility rent, utilities and payroll without a bank account. In order to get inventory my friend has to fly to the supplier with a sack full of cash and return with a carry on full of pot. (Reports no problems with TSA)
Nevertheless, the business is booming in this little island town that boasts a population which, they tell me, is nearly half senior citizens over the age of 65. Dire predictions of increased crime and pot zombies roaming main street have not materialized.
California still busts unlicensed growers, in fact they rolled up a multi-million dollar grow operation in southern California this week.
This will likely continue after recreational weed becomes legal in CA couple of weeks from now, as the marijuana subculture rejects the taxing authority of the state.
“Because he thinks when it comes to “medical weed”, one should be able to self-diagnose and self-medicate with no strings attached....”
In other words, he wants potheads to run free.
= Dead Head Nation
The caffeine hadn’t taken effect yet when I submitted that reply, so I didn’t have the presence of mind to edit it and make my intention more clear. Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify! :)
If you’re performing during worship at your church tomorrow, have fun, my good FRiend.
I am & I will, thanks!
Peace :)
Why is Brian Darling so concerned about marijuana?
