Some of you need to read the actual supreme court ruling and stop listening to what someone said it said......

He can use the section 8
He sure can..right up until the Judge says that he violated the enclosed and locked part of the deal.

Being allowed to use and argue the defense doesn't automatically mean the defense is going to be accepted..just like you can argue self defense at a murder trial...for the section 4 or 8 defense to work, the act must be complied with.

It's not that simple...section 8 is a trial defense...section 4 would avoid a trial. Section 8 allows the defendant to argue medical necessity to a jury. Section 4 allows a pre trial motion to dismiss entirely.

A section 8 defendant still has to convince a jury that .1. there was medicinal need (a valid Dr recommendation.
.2.. The amount being cultivated or in possession was reasonable to treat that condition, and 3.. that the operation conformed to the medical laws

Basically, the same conditions apply to get a judge to dismiss a section 4 pre trial argument.

But section 8 is an affirmative defense, presented at trial to a jury....not a dismissal. With a section 8 you have a trial and must get a "not guilty" verdict from a jury...

actually-

bob couldn't be more wrong. still puttin marks on the ol' spam belt, eh?

section 8 arguments are readily available to anyone, but must be claimed at the time of indictment. contradictory to what bob said, the reason for this is simple; once the locked and secure requirements are not met under 4, you cannot then try and claim section 8 rights. try to keep in mind bob, that the type of circular logic that you insistently employ was criticized, and prejudiced in the decision.

also wrong, in bob's eloquence, is the assertion of the section 8 rights to be a trial defense. the justices quite clearly, give the exploratory hearing the weight. if the conditions are met for section 8, CASE DISMISSED. simple as that. if they are not met, you are disallowed ANY 8 benefit or protection. they specifically say, that once the defense has been shown to not comply with 8, they are NOT allowed to use ANY part of it in the trial.

on a side note. the things you say are easily disprovable. why be that guy. there are sick people who are depending on the outcome of this. WHY? i would advise everyone to actually read this. its not much, and bob makes it painfully obvious that the propaganda machine is in full working order.

section 8-

affirmative defense means, not disproving the violation, but excusing it, based on predetermined parameters.

Bob learn what the fuck you are talking about before you go calling people criminals. You have spewed so much bullshit about how people are breaking the law and hurting our law and you dont have a fucking clue what you are talking about. You never do.................. You dont even know what the law says much less what the recent rulings say. What a tool........................................

Murph you are almost completely correct except for there is a situation where if you do not get a dimissal outright on section 8 at the hearing that you can then present it to the jury.

Jesus Fuck not everyone can be right here and everyone has a different take.

I'd sure like to know what it all really means.

Let's get back to King: He had a card or app in at the time.
He was growing under Sec. 4.

I don't see how he can argue Sec. eight "exemptions" for security as medically necessary: it does not compute.
Like I said before - he did not even try to comform to the rules.
Maybe I'm just stupid; but I don't see where not securing your grow can be construed as medically necessary, especially in his case.

All the Court said was he could get the hearing - he won't meet the parameters of Sec. eight and will be back at the mercy of the lower Court and the PA Akers he called out.
That's my take. I could be wrong.
No - I know - I'm not a lawyer - but I don't think any of you guys are either.

i am-

he did NOT have the rec at the time of the violation, therefore, while he will be granted the exploration, he will not pass it.
the decision was to clarify the section 8 interpretation. the MMMA is not retroactive. we all new that.

Belle went through this and it didn't matter what the judge and PA were told. She had experts from downstate and the judge wouldn't even let them speak. The cop changed his story and claimed that the Michigan State Police officer conveniently lost the felony arrest tape the second the news cameras showed up. Clearly bullshit, every single person saw that, the laws don't mean shit. Once you get in front of small town judges, lawyers, and PA they just make shit up. She said fighting that case was the worst thing she could have ever did. You cannot win against these fucks. If Koons or whoever would have won in c of a, it still wouldn't have been worth fighting. If a democrat that is a wealthy career politician gets fucked by this state over and over, then what chance does a disabled, sick, poor patient have in this state?

well guys the WAY king will get off is this..

"The trial court found Defendant cultivated marijuana in an “enclosed, locked facility,” satisfied the affirmative defense and granted Defendant’s motion to dismiss the charges."

Because Defendant failed to comply with the provisions of Section 4 regarding the “enclosed, locked facility” he was precluded from asserting the Section 8 affirmative defense.


BUT.. now we know that YOU DO NOT NEED to follow to protection in section 4 to use the section 8 defense


this is why SEVERABILITY is in the law like 6 times.

each section is
separate.


if you have a doctor's rec. which i have 2 - 1 from my first doc. another from my renewal.

you have to meet 3 things at your hearing.


1- you had spoke to a doctor -don't even need a REC "(
1) A physician has stated that, in the physician's professional opinion, after having completed a full assessment of the patient's medical history and current medical condition made in the course of a bona fide physician-patient relationship, the patient is likely to receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the medical use of marihuana to treat or alleviate the patient's serious or debilitating medical condition or symptoms of the patient's serious or debilitating medical condition;"

2 - you can show you didn't have any more than a "reasonable amount for a consistent unaided supply"

3 -
the defendant’s use was
“to treat or alleviate the patient’s serious or debilitating medical condition or
symptoms . . . .” As long as a defendant can establish these elements, no question of fact
exists regarding these elements, and none of the circumstances in § 7(b)

of course here is what bob needs to read.

4. Section 8 of the MMMA provides a limited protection for the use of medical
marijuana in criminal prosecutions, which requires dismissal of the charges if all the
elements of the defense are established.
5. A defendant need not establish the elements of § 4 to have a valid affirmative
defense under § 8.
6. A defendant who moves for the dismissal of criminal charges under § 8 must
raise the defense in a pretrial motion to dismiss and for an evidentiary hearing.
33
7. A defendant is entitled to the dismissal of criminal charges under § 8 if, at the
evidentiary hearing, the defendant establishes all the elements of the § 8 affirmative



KING WILL WIN.

he had a card.

Good to see you are still ignorant.

Section 8 IS a trial defense...section 4 allows a dismissal. You agreed with Murph, then corrected him, just to argue with me.

My opinions are to try and keep people from getting in trouble..yours is to tell them to do whatever they want, with an overly broad interpretation of the law.

no bob.

if you can meet the 3 requirements of section 8 and not fail in 7(b).

THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN SAID IN 2008: we do not want to waste our time and money even having a trial!

CASE DISMISSED!

I stand corrected on the technical aspects of section 8.

7. A defendant is entitled to the dismissal of criminal charges under § 8 if, at the
evidentiary hearing, the defendant establishes all the elements of the § 8 affirmative
defense, which are (1) “[a] physician has stated that, in the physician’s professional
opinion, after having completed a full assessment of the patient’s medical history and
current medical condition made in the course of a bona fide physician-patient
relationship, the patient is likely to receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the
medical use of marihuana,” (2) the defendant did not possess an amount of marijuana that
was more than “reasonably necessary for this purpose,” and (3) the defendant’s use was
“to treat or alleviate the patient’s serious or debilitating medical condition or
symptoms . . . .” As long as a defendant can establish these elements, no question of fact
exists regarding these elements, and none of the circumstances in § 7(b), MCL
333.26427(b), exists, then the defendant is entitled to dismissal of the criminal charges.
Ok guys...ozz says we can grow 300 plants, outdoors, with no fence...so long as we have a recommendation.....ozz, you are an idiot if you think that section 8 will provide that kind of broad defense coverage.

Section 8 does remove plant and weight counts outlined in section 4. However, if you think that is a good thing, you will prove to be mistaken.

(2) the defendant did not possess an amount of marijuana that
was more than “reasonably necessary for this purpose,”

The second condition is way open to a judges opinion..or a juries. You guys all want growing as much weed as possible to be legal..it isn't.

by removing the plant count and weight protections under section 4, I bet most judges will allow LESS cannabis, plants or weight, to be viewed as "reasonable". King had maturing outdoor plants..what do you think the weight was going to be?

Do you think that it doesn't matter? Think again...
