It means this law is not thiers - it is ours - until they pass those bills through the Senate and water it down...I am far too fucking baked to read all that I did skim and read the last part. Sounds like great news. Could someone sumarize that for me?
My cuz gets pulled over with 7 grams of trim and is looking at $3000 in fines all because she didn't register! I know she would qualify but she was stubborn and broke and just didn't go to the doctor! Now $3000 dollars she doesn't have will come out of the mouths of her children. It's insanity and I hope this law really works for people in her type of situation!
This ruling from the MSC has now Forced the courts to allow your Cousin the option of a Sec 8 Defense so long as she has a Dr recommendation. THis should now be Dismissed.
WRONG.Agreed. as long as the doctor recommendation was BEFORE the arrest.
No, I'm right. You don't have to register for a card, but the Dr rec has to be before the arrest...I'll find the article..here ya go..WRONG.
this is what the MSC overturned bob...
you could grow 99 plants without your card (unregistered patient) and as long as you can meet the 3 requirements in a section 8 defense then your case is DISMISSED.
I'm thinking the same thing..The following quote was pulled from the article that gladstoned posted......
"The Michigan Supreme Court, in its first major ruling on a case arising from the use of medical marijuana, said today that the state's voter-approved law on medicinal pot provides relatively broad legal protection from prosecution, even for patients who do not register for a state medical marijuana card."
So, if a doc makes a recommendation, then we can assert the medical defense, even WITHOUT registering for a medical card through the state?!?!?!
Why in the fuck should I renew my card then??
WRONG.

No Not at all - I was just telling a friend today that politicians are so fucked up that they will drop hardcore ingrained beliefs in favor of power at the drop of a dime from a Party Boss.Isn't it odd that this favorable supreme court ruling happens coincidentally (on the same day) the gnarly new-n-improved Pharmacy Bill rears its ugly dragon face?
