Trolls are a big problem here as well as anywhere on the internet mods here are cool I have flipped a few times I'm told you have every right to defend yourself but make sure you report to them first!Sweet. I had the same problem on another forum too. Trolls used to upset me, now I just pity their lives. Feel sorry for someone who is so unhappy that he gets off trying to make others unhappy as well.
This is what I did as well. I actually gave a tour of my grow to two of them so they could inspect it to verify that I was abiding by all laws. The funniest part was when they valued my plants(4) that yielded a total of 5 1/2 oz at a total of over $15,000. They have been told to estimate $4000 per plant!Out of the 300+ members in our club nobody has been hassled. You have your card and within our state limits and it's: have a nice day" If ya dont ya go to jail. I had several meetings with our local leo's and prosecutor to make sure they where training their depts to handle the new law and they've seemed to done well with leaving us alone. So far so good in the sw corner... I know of several folks stopped and checked and grows checked and everyone was left alone. It was " have a nice day and sorry to have bothered you"..
Dude thats pretty foolish. You should NEVER let those cops in without a warrant. If they actually have reason to believe someone's safety is in immediate danger they are allowed to barge in anyway, and they WILL if that's the case. If that is not the case then they need a warrant to enter. Sounds like they were on a fishing expedition and you kept biting at that hook.So let me get this right. You were walking your dogs (plural, meaning more than one) and some bike cop smelled vapors off you from the corner over the smells off your dogs, and so you flashed him your card ?
Wait..... and now you are saying you used to be a cop so you understand ?
Understand what ?
That innate sense of smell that nearly every law enforcement officer seems to have when phishing for a bust when it comes to weed, but what baffles me is if all law enforcement officers have this extra sense, we'll call it, and the bike cop had it, why didn't you ?
Since from your story, you were obviously able to be smelled over dogs from a street corner.
Do they throw you to the side when you lose your sniffing abilities ?
Just wondering, since your retired or whatever.
you do know this is for Michigan patients, and you have your location listed in Cali.,
are you sure you are not under the influence right now ?
Anyways, a few months ago there was a power outage and severe weather issues, and at about 4 in the morning after the storm settled, there was a pounding on my friend's door.
Since she was sleeping, and I just fired up the bowl, I walked over to the door, and in my best tough guy voice yelled, 'Who is it?'
I heard back immediately that it was the police. I walked out the other door, around the side of the house in a compassion club t-shirt, and a pair of hershey kiss pajama bottoms over to the front of the house where they were at. I asked the officers what they were doing or needed. They told me there was a 911 hang up made from this address. I looked at them, and then at what I was wearing, like c'mon, it's the middle of the night. I then was told that they needed to come in to make sure everyone was safe. I told them the phone wasn't even working so how could a call have been placed to 911 from here. The other cop chimed in and mentioned there were problems with the phone due to the storm. I then, once again, reiterated, that if this was the case there was probably a false call sent out that way. The cop that chimed in agreed, and his partner shot him a dirty glance. At this, I began to worry, as I wasn't trying to be argumentative or get one of the cops to side with me, but I could clearly see the other cop was beginning to get upset. The cop that was beginning to get upset said to me, 'we really need to make sure everyone is safe, then we can get out of your hair. If your worried about that marijuana I can smell all the way out here. Don't worry, I don't care about that. I just need to check on the safety of everyone in the house.'
I explained I had a card and that wasn't any concern of mine to be frank with him.
At this, I decided to give them entrance, as they entered this door through the kitchen, there was a freshly packed bowl of some crazy organic fire laying out, with vapors just filling the kitchen. Both officers looked at each other, probably in agreement that this was indeed the fire. lmao.
They proceeded into the front hallway while I tried for 5-10 minutes to wake up the other person at the house. While they waited, the angry cop started shining lights on the art on the wall, and asked me to explain some of it to his partner, in particular a promotional poster for Rubber Johnny by Chris Cunningham. lololol
Since it was 4 in the morning and this other person wasn't getting up quick enough, the angry cop starts to fish. He asks me for my card. I said to him, 'I thought you weren't concerned about that, and were just checking on the safety of the occupants of the house.' He replied, 'yeah, just get it.'
I got my card out of my pants on the floor and show it to him. He studies it for a minute, and then asks what it's for. I replied that's registered with the Dept. of Health and Human Resources. He shot a glare at his partner, and said to me, 'really, what's it for ?'
As I was tempted to reply HIV or something else he would probably run from since he was obviously fishing and at this point disrespecting my privacy and kind of being a dick. I told him one of my conditions that I received my card for, and he responded 'that's all I asked'
He then asked why the address on my card didn't match the address he was at, and I explained because 'I don't reside here.'
At around this point the other person poked there head out of the door, and said they were fine. I guess this was enough info or harassment to secure the house, since the angry cop handed me back my card, and then without saying a word turned around and started leaving the way he came in with his partner following him. I tried telling them, 'thanks for coming and checking on the safety and security of the house, officers.', but the angry cop seemed angrier now, and was walking off muttering. not sure what the deal was with that, but no probs with this experience other than a nosy muttering officer that I extended every courtesy on my part other than offering up an toke.
btw, to others reading this, I was being nice. I didn't have to be. In fact, I didn't have to even answer the door let alone give out privileged confidential information that is really between just me and my doctor.
I have checked with several law groups and have also spoke with someone from the ACLU. Everyone told me the same thing. You are not allowed to be grilled over what your MMP card was issued for, and to do it continually in a harassing or threatening matter, under certain pretenses opens up grounds for me to sue for harassment. Law enforcement or not.
Law enforcement are only allowed to check your card by verifying your # on your card with the record on file. They call a number, and check it, and that is all the information they are given. You do not have to give them any more information than handing them your card and id. As far as budlover13 goes, whether you are a cop or not, previously or otherwise, there are stop and check procedures that law enforcement goes through that you don't even have to participate in any way. It is very similar and basically the same police procedure that dictates you try to self-incriminate the person being pulled over in a traffic stop by asking them immediately, 'do you know why I pulled you over'.
Everyone should become familiar with laws in general, not just in your area. and legalese, for sure.
Wow, didn't think so many people got so little love when they were kids. You're right, I failed to mention I was smoking in my first post and yes, this is a Michigan forum. I was simply trying to give OP an example of how it is in Cali now after 15 years. As for the "politics", well, if you don't understand, you were never a cop. Good for you.
they were probably going on the scale of current Cali prices for med patients.The funniest part was when they valued my plants(4) that yielded a total of 5 1/2 oz at a total of over $15,000. They have been told to estimate $4000 per plant!
never got you in trouble, you just couldn't express yourself without swearing up a storm, and most likely your posts got deleted by a mod.thats the same guy who got me in trouble earlier...I got pissed and went off and got a point from R.I.U......we can't let guys like him ruin a good thing...just smoke a bowl and ignore the trolls
speaking of clueless, trollin, and missing the point completely ^^^^^^^^^ lmfaoI'm from Michigan and anyone is welcome here...wtf...just because you live in cali this guy thinks your restricted to where you post a story??...lol...post here everyday budlover13...your always welcome

You're a pretty funny troll ktwister. Pretty transparent, but funny. You almost sound like you BELIEVE what you say.
Oh, btw, I've been invited by more Michigan patients than have questioned why I would post. As a matter of fact, you seen to be the only one crying.
I will continue to post, thank you for permission. I simply ID you as a troll because you always seem to find a way to put in your 2 cents when nobody really cares to hear it.
who ?Let's see, inflammatory, who has been making the homophobic comments and trying to upset members?
that makes about as much sense as your first post.And really, I'm sure most members would agree that the self-righteous, I'm better than you, Look how tough I type, attitude with 16 posts is pretty good proof of your troll status.
Oh yeah. You might want to check you little attitude if you ever DO happen to encounter LEO because whether youu are a legal MMJ patient or not, they will always stick it to a person with an attitude like you have displayed on this forum so far. Btw, LEO discussion would be considered ON-topic.
Someone needs a hug! Anyway....Who's the nobody that doesn't care to hear it ?
Oh wait, you.
Mr.IhavenolifesoIsitmydyingdaysnexttoapolicescannerandgluedtotheyoungfolksinternet.
who ?
find just one
The only member I've obviously upset is you and your new companion.
What are you going to plant a homophobic comment on me ?
lmfao
that makes about as much sense as your first post.
which most users were like wtf.
So, you are saying that since you are self-righteous....you are better than me.
I find that hard to believe. You are obviously better than me because you are a sensitive mall cop with more posts.
whatever attitude are you talking about, officer ?
Your retired, quit playing the lick my jackboot role.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm not being pulled over with a .44 in my face this time, so chill your own attitude, and go fetch.
Get back to your job as mall cop, and quit playing like you have any purpose on this forum or in life other than to taunt legitimate users, and start fake drug wars.
btw, LEO discussion would be considered on topic in your case if you were actually in michigan.
Read where this thread is posted and what it is called.
makin more sense now, stoney.
just stay out of whatever you're smoking before going back online or operating your mouth.
Someone needs a hug! Anyway....
For a cop you really don't seem to understand how constitutional rights work. I wouldn't let them in without a warrant.Yeah,
I really should've let them smash my friends door in for what took like 10-15 mins. tops being nice. then I could've just blown the smoke out the pieces of the front door instead of cracking a window
your right, total fishing trip, and I was bait.
plus I screwed up some potential free home repairs/improvements for my friend.
btw, has happened before multiple times.
it has to do with the dsl hitting emergency bands when trying to reconnect after storms or outages.
so much for your fishing theory.
For a cop you really don't seem to understand how constitutional rights work. I wouldn't let them in without a warrant.

Easy guys, he's just posting and matters not. As I stated we've not had a problem regarding the new law and most cops(or leo's as ya will) smoke themselfs. Hell I've several cops thats in my club and being caregivers for extra cash. several of my patients are over 70 so let a shitbig cops tell them mj is just for stoners. They wont have there job for long as I'll pound them into the dirt...... Over the past 2 years I've pounding our prosecutor and sherriff into the new law. You bust one of my club members and we'll sue your socks off,,,period.......... Ya want to bust folks for growing, then ya better be DAM sure thier not patients or caregivers or we'll SUE YOUR ASS OFF,,, PERIOD.....
I've spoken to countless groups about MJ and if working the patients needs ,,you get no problems. It's when they see dispens's and such thats get them bitchin. I aggree with them on that point completely but will pound them senceless over the medical use. If your mom was dieing from cancer and could only eat if she smoked a bit of mj, would ya tell her she'll a worthless stoner try'in to get high, or help her out ??? Our prosecutor said he'd help her and sees my point.. We changed his out look on Mj and saved countless folks from being hasseled over trying to help themselfs.
I've talked to countless groups and have not found ONE that would disspute medical use. Hell the ol folks home in my area contacted us on helping them set up there patients so lets drag them into court and see if a jury convicts me for suppley'in them with meds while they die. If they do I'll do it anyways as they need it so bust away dickheads bust away.........
Hell my 80 yr ol father-in-law with cancer just tried some brownies I made and it help him sleep and eat a bunch. Now he's doing better and his doc's said mj helped,,, so bust aways dickheads,,,, bust away..... I'll make ya famous. Go home and tell your sweet wife ya busted someone helping dieing folks cuz ya think your cool. You'll just prove to be a ass and costing your county 10000's in legal fees for nothing.
I have to say after 2 years of going to Lansing and countless townships and such,,,, i've yet to find much hard core shit from any on mj use. If we could just get the rest of the folks to do what I've been doing then we'd have no problem at all. Get off yer ass people as I'm about wore out..... Help me help you...........................................
