The point being made is they are finally starting to crack down on the doctors that have put their patients at risk for years. No Record Clinics, Skype Clinics. As this...
We are getting reports of patients getting letters from the State of Michigan informing them that since they got their certifications over Skype without meeting with a doctor face to face, their cards are fraudulent and are being revoked.
Are people here seeing that or were they isolated cases...
LARA Audits MMJ Doctors
Audit Says Doctor Sees 11,800 Patients a Year- Waiting Rooms Still Full
LARA has just released the results of an audit of medical marijuana certification doctors. As always, they are making a big play that less that 25 doctors have seen some 56% of all certification...
As you know, I am running in the 97th District (Arenac, Gladwin, Clare and Osceola Co). My opponent is a former police officer and feels, like all criminals, marijuana users should be in jail. Obviously we need someone a little more balanced in Lansing, and I've received the endorsement of...
I won my primary 60/40 and will be facing a former Florida Cop backed with DeVos money in the general election for the 97th House District.
This is the opportunity for the community to rally around an advocate and solid candidate or hand the election to a Republican that represents everything...

The Following is the Part of the Ruling discussing the Bonafide Dr/Pt relationship. It shows a classic failure of standards of certification at the expense of a patient. Don't fall into...
These people truly sicken me. They are nothing but street gangs with badges shaking down their communities. It is a good thing that grant money is going to treatment rather than law enforcement, those with addictions need treatment, not felony convictions and jail time. Medical marijuana has cut...

Looks like we got Parkinson's and PTSD as approved conditions in Michigan today. Still needs to go to LARA for final approval, but both were voted in today by the Panel.
Preliminary votes on Asthma, Autism, and Insomnia were voted down, but they are going to allow public testimony and vote...
This is a very serious development to be viewed with caution, it is a LOCAL ruling and unless you are in this district I wouldn't go jumping out with p2p sales, and if you are use EXTREME caution....
A Lansing judge has thrown out all charges filed by the state Attorney Generals office...
Efforts are underway in Michigan to have ptsd added to the list of approved conditions. I would appreciate it if patients with ptsd using cannabis would contact me with their stories. 100-300 words, just big enough to be held up and digested as positive patient experiences (names, city, and...
