once the feds say ok it will happen. investors and big money operate according to federal laws.

Yep once the feds say it's ok. It's going to happen someday too so we could get our licks in and establish something. If we wait for the feds to say it's ok then we are really going to get pushed out of the picture. If we got the ground floor we'd have a fighting chance.

Booze is federally controlled yet there are many micro brewries. The big boys play yet the small boys get to also. Thats how marijuana will be if we can get in first. Or we can just bow out to big pharma and continue to let our law makers mow us down.

Wasn't is D. Shittie, that said that there would be a pot shop on every corner, because there was no language in the Medical Marijuana law that prohibited that? Sounds like a particular asshole, and his asshole buddies aren't going to just bow out gracefully, so why should we roll over...

Are you thinking of when Bill Schutte put out a directive to close dispensaries down?

Found it, it was a Aug 2011 Michigan Appeals Court ruling. It pretty much ruled the same thing, dispensaries aren't legal and caregivers can only provide for their registered patients. Lots of people chose to stand up and fight rather than bow down, i hope people are willing to fight for their freedom with this ruling too.

My plan has never changed...grow as much as I can n teach others to grow.

Hell yeah brother, i'm with you!

You do see the merit in the clubs and the dispensaries and markets though, right? Just to be sure your personal view. it's so unreasonable to me that a person should be attached to another for their meds for so many reason chief being its unreasonable to expect every care giver to be great at all things cannabis to serve their patients with what they specifically need. Also, we can all see the wide variance in quality being put out, why deny patients the best meds because said caregiver is maxed out at 5 patients.

Absolutely. The FM was my favorite model outside of self growing patients and caregivers. I've expressed that many times, I also stated the only drawback is that the model is not and was not covered under the act. I was correct according to the SC.

My hope now is that a new bill will be introduced to add farmers markets to the mix of self growing patients and caregivers. My proposal to allow a 'stamp' to be attached to a sale at one of these markets akin to the temporary permit you get when you hit a deer with your car and want to take it home. The stamp would make the seller your official caregiver for the purposes of that transaction. There are many other ideas.

Amen to that

 

[Dr. Bob]

So what's the logical next step?

It seems that either a ballot initiative needs to get underway completely legalizing marijuana like CO and WA just did, or we need to put pressure on lawmakers in Lansing to further clarify the original law allowing for dispensaries and/or P2P transfers.

Which makes the most sense?

I think an initiative to allow p2p sales would do the trick and would have a higher chance of passing muster with the general population. The legalization petition went no where.

would bud tenders be subject to criminal charges then as well?

There is no such thing as a bud tender in the Act. If they were just taking care of the meds, what law are they violating? I would think the patient or caregiver that hired them would be running a risk letting someone other than the patient or caregiver access to their grow room, but under the act, I don't believe being around a medical grow is a crime.

the person behind the counter is a 'budtender' they are the ones in possession. Most where caregivers able to possess 15 ounces.

Pretty pissed I can't give you rep yet again. You deserve it.

Yup, and it had little effect at the time and almost no effect at all in the long run. I know the SC trumps all else in the state but I'm hoping we see some more "freedom fighters" stand their ground again and challenge the system.

 

[stumpjumper]

Once again my pessimism saved me from a case of disappointmental butthurt.

This ruling affects me in no way at all, none-the-less I wish evil unto all those working against the medical community.

Don't worry bro, I repped him for you!

it's hegilian dialect....if you can understand that then you might be able to grasp what's really going on----
thesis ....antithesis....synthesis

they create the problem....then they offer/sell the solution.....then they rectify/balance the equation....and control the situation--

Amen brother! If only the general populace understood such a concept, then there may be true hope for change and democracy ...

Fuck, how do I get that on a bumper sticker LMFAO

 

[Murfy]

man-

that's fucked up, though.

so I guess you support legalization.....from your posts

I personally do not.....

so you must be for MA having vending machines allready in the UP.....?....
..are those your free seeds in every pack that I've been told everyone throws away?
I think their Monsanto kill gene seeds and if you plant them your fuked!

if you think that total legalization will be for the good of the average citizen that supports mmj.....IMO you are wrong--

You don't, I do and this post didn't tell me anything i haven't heard already. I don't buy it.....

No they are NOT my seeds if it is actually true about the vending machines, i don't know anything about it. I have friends in the UP and never heard anything about any vending machines.

I'm willing to battle it out with the big boys, there will always be room for boutique top shelf buds. IMO you are wrong and it's pretty plain to see we aren't going to change our minds. So go ahead and make up some more stuff about my seeds or whatever floats ya. You have quite the imagination....
