Michigan Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Jeopardy

Thu, Aug 25, 2011 4:08 pm

Share |


Medical marijuana in Michigan suffered a major setback this week as the state’s appeals court ruled that marijuana cannot be sold through private shops. The unanimous decision threatens to dismantle the 200 to 300 dispensaries in the state.

 

The court ruled that Michigan’s 2008 medical cannabis law doesn’t allow for the sale of pot – a decision that could lead to businesses like Compassionate Apothecary in Mount Pleasant to be closed down.

 

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, who supports tightening restrictions in the state’s medical cannabis law as well as outlawing dispensaries, will notify county prosecutors of the court’s decision – essentially giving them the go-ahead to pursue and shut down medical marijuana dispensaries.

 

Schuette said in a statement, “This ruling is a huge victory for public safety and Michigan communities struggling with an invasion of pot shops near their schools, homes and churches … The court echoed the concerns of law enforcement, clarifying that this law is narrowly focused to help the seriously ill, not the creation of a marijuana free-for-all.”

 

The ruling may not be the final word for dispensaries in Michigan as the decision will likely be appealed and heard by the state Supreme Court. However, for the nearly 100,000 certified medical marijuana patients in the Great Lakes State, obtaining quality medicine just got a lot harder.

 
UPDATE:
 

According to reports, two medical marijuana dispensaries located in Ann Arbor were raided around 10:20am Thursday. Police were seen carrying boxes out of A2 Go Green Corp, however, witnesses did not report seeing anyone arrested.

 

Additionally, reports indicate that many MMJ shops across the state have decided to close down as a result of Wednesday’s ruling.

I have primary progressive ms. I would like all of you who are against medical pot to live in my shoes for one day. Yes, their are drugs that would do the job but they are opiate based and I do not want to spend the rest of my life

Too True, every man that taken a life over the enforcement of Marijuana laws has killed to help suppress the will of God. God granted man the gift of all the plants for his use. So it is his divine will for man to have it. False profits and dreamers now lie to test you. God clearly stated believers are tested to determine their willingness to follow the words of God and to test their love.
Now people are lead to believe Marijuana, the gift from God is a bad plant and that the God who created it and gave it to man made a horrible mistake that man now must correct. So each man who tries to destroy the plant, kills over the plant or jails another over it has elevated himself to the level of God in their own mind and has committed blasphemy.
So even after the Lord God told you false profits would be sent to test you and to test your belief in his perfect and divine will, you fall for an obvious trick and turn against him and help to imprison those who follow his will.
All you need to do is read the Word of God and it is all there in plain English for all to read and understand.
Yet you follow the false profits as Satin laughs at your folly and waits for you to join him in eternity. .

Every day they strip us of our freedoms it starts with this and ends with things that are even bigger we paid to be a patient and had illness that allowed us to obtain our car so bill is not correct he is wrong it's not a free for all people use medical marijuana for many reasons like me for instance I was in a severe car accident and dont want to take pain killers because they are really addictive so I went to a doctor and got certified and medical marijuan really helps

Pharmaceutical companys don't want for marijuanna to be legal. They know once it's legal...their stocks are going to tank and we're talking about trillions of dollars that's on the line. They rather you get hooked on opiates...cause it's more money on their coffers.

I wouldnt shed the slightest of a tear if ALL these so-called dispensaries were shut down by the Feds. In fact, I would clap and jump up & down in total joy.
"Medical marijuana" is just a lame excuse for potheads to keep their addiction going. If there are truly ill patients, then there are other medicines that can get the job done. Medicines that are safe, legal, and are not deemed medically useless by the Federal Government.

gstlab3 you have lowered yourself to the ranks of the idiots.

You the man who once spoke against slavery now endorse it, you who once spoke against the cast class system now speak for it. I am ashamed for you. You have lost your way and are no longer viewed as one of the free, you are now a member of the communist class you pretend to despise. You have admitted no man can strive to be more, you have agreed there is no free will only that of the state. You have agreed forced labor is the only thing available for those with the brain issue you claim to suffer from. Where did you lose your way?

You compare Israel to the USA, which as stupid as stupid gets. The USA has vast oceans on 2 sides and 2 weak neighbors on it's land boarders. One of which is a friend and the other which we treat like a unwanted step child. Neither of which could do a damn thing to us on their best day.

I can't imagine what those Washington fools would do with an unlimited amount of troops. You are basically saying let's reinstate the draft, that is just crazy and only a crazy person would suggest it in any way.

In the society you desire Herb would never be free as every man would viewed as the property of the state, you are calling for a cast system where the rich go to college and the poor go to war. A system where the middle class are assigned jobs based on the score of a Government created test they take when they are 12. A test that as you can't use spell checker and misspell even the simplest of words, you would fail.

I HATE TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION, BUT BASED ON WHAT I READ HERE, YOU WOULD BE SENT TO THE FRONT LINES IN A WAR SITUATION AND YOU WOULD BE DESIGNATED AS A HOSTAGE.

You may as well change your rant and your site name as all respect for you is lost.

Aug 29 2011, 1:09 pm

I only read half your post and could go no further. There is no need for military service to be prescribed medicine. There is no need to risk death on foreign soil to earn the right to be an American.

All of life is ruled by opinions and I disagree with yours. I would not even consider military service for any reason short of Foreign Troops approaching American soil. I care not for the freedom of any man who is not an American. Those who feel we need to free the world are fools and like fools will die for a government that disregards their desires.

To many times the people have voted and approved Medical Marijuana only to see there vote cast to the side by corrupt politicians who are the puppets of the corporations that own them.

So feel free to die for GE and Ratheon and Western Electric. I will stay home and work to free God's gift as a free man and will not pressure you to do the right thing. I feel all who have love in their hearts knows the truth and until you are able to love you can not understand.

I can not teach you love it is an understanding each man must gain on their own. I can explain it to you as I just did, but it is up to you to comprhend it.

The liberty of each American is only constrained by the liberty of the Americans around him. The rule of law only comes into play if one American infringes on the liberty of another, not before. Until you understand that we are all lost and you will not be a true American.

If marahuana is a 'medicine' then it should be controlled from the laboratory/field to the 'patient' , defined with a diagnosis.
and it should only be prescribed to a 'patient' when they turn age 21.
Consider this...every primitive tribe that lives in the jungles of Africa, S.America,or Borneo...etc...use substances they find in nature that inhance their ceremonies...but not a single adult in those primitive cultures would even think about having their youth have anything to do with those substances UNTIL the have gone through the 'ritual' which describes and gives the tribe's expectations, as a full tribe member, of the boy becoming a man or a girl becoming a woman.
Our country (tribe) has NO ritual to describe and give the country's (tribe) expecations as a full tribe member/citizen.
It is time to forge ahead with the primitive insite that we need a firm ritual.
It has been in 'plan B' for over thirty years that the day must come when all boys and girls (not close to men and women) go through ritual of one year manditory conscription after highschool in either military (national guard) or civil service (health service, community sewrvice). Once completed after learning the expectations of a real free and independant citizen, than we can all vote for legalising marahuana nationally.
I has long been well proved that until the human brain comes off natures 'conveyor belt' at between 21 at 25 years, the normal natural learning curve. For someone like me who has taught college and public school for over 35 years it is obvious.
Please respond to this, it will be easy to separate those smoking marahuana who are under 21 years old and those over 25 years old.
I look forward to this...so will you

Also, in regards to the rising illiteracy rates in this country...after 8th grade every kid should take a test(s) where the results will send them on the way to highschool ,or send them to vocational/technical school...college can come later for everyone after conscription.
Anyone not following this prescription, become a ward of the state the live in and cannot vote.

Perhaps a pipe dream but one that only a naturally matured adult could understand.

I am waiting to here from you all.......

I too took the advise of the K2'rs and purchased an ounce of that stuff. I paid a pretty sum for it too. I had a custom tripple bowl made for my bong just for K2. I was gonna get ripped, so I thought.

My first night nothing happened, except I got the worse headache in my life...I thought I was having a brain stroke. Needless to say, my ole lady was not happy since she was looking forward my usual fun in the sack...since cannabis is an phrodisaic for me.

Not to be outdone since I paid a pretty penny for that stuff, I loaded my tripple bowl with K2 again, and the same thing happened again. Mind you, I have a very nice voluptous women...some can characterize her as a nympho.
Needless to say, my lady wasn't to pleased with me again in the morning. She was questioning my man hood and wanted to know if I was gay now since I wasn't up to par anymore. If you get my drift.

I should listen to my hunch and flushed the K2 shit down the comode. Being bone headed and not to be outdone by my K2. I loaded my tripple bowl with K2. This time not only did I have the same symptoms, but I slept for two day...that's according to my misses.

I was awaken by a blook curl screem and it was my misses. Apparently, K2 shrunk my manhook into a stump. To make matters worse, my nymp lady left me. The last thing I heard before she slammed the door was, I will not live with some dickless in seattle. Now I'm all bummed and I have to relieve the whole episode cause when I pee, I now pee on my balls.

I CURSE you K2'rs and your dickless pushing designer drug.

Now I'm just Dickless in Seattle.

So when people suggest they had an issue with something that was being sold as a replacement, they should keep it to themselves and let others waste there money and get sick. Good Idea.
No one is telling anyone what to do just what happened to them. And warning people that the shit is homemade is just prudent.
You are obviously the K2 guy so FUCK OFF!!!

Dogs are useless as police train the dog and you never know what an animal will do in a given situation. My friends dog that I always see indoors at his house bit me when he brought it into my yard outdoors. I can't explain why. At his house a playful indoor pet, at my house a mean ass attack dog.

Cops have pulled me over and used the dog on my car which is a waste of time as I never carry anything in the car as I am not stupid. Yet the dog showed a hit according to the Nazis on the far side of the car where I could not see. Surprise it was out of my site. After looking through my stuff for no reason in an act of total disrespect and totally against the constitution I was free to go. Cops are Nazis like it or don't.

47% of metro Detroiters are reportedly functional illiterate.

SO WHO REALLY CARES RIGHT??
THE STATE OF MICHIGAN IS ALL BUT A FEDERAL CAMP FOR THE REMAINING SLAVES WHO COULD'NT AFFORD TO GET OUT BEFORE THEY KILLED THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.

AND YEAH FUCK SPELL CHECK!!!
I'M NOT WASTING ANYMORE TIME THAN I ALLREADY DO RABBLE ROUSING THESE YOUNG AND "ILL"EDUCATED CITIZENS WE HAVE AS OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

WE HAVE TO REEDUCATE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY AND EVEN THE PIGS AND THE REGULAR POLICE AND THE LAWYERS AND JUDGES ALL ARE SUSPECTS BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNIST RUN SCHOOLS WHO ALL BUT REWROTE THE U.S. CONSTITUTION TO ONLY PROTECT THE POLICE AND GOVERNMENT AND NOT THE CITIZEN FOR WICH IT WAS INTENDED TO PROTECT.

CURRENT EXAMPLE OF WHAT AND WHY..,

A NEARBY LOCAL POLICE CHIEF CURRENTLY WAS ON TELEVSION FOR TWO MINUTES TWO MONTHS AFTER THE FACT NOW FINDS HIMSELF IN A LITTLE BIT OF HOT WATER FOR SEARCHING WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING A TRUE LEGAL WARRANT TO DO A SEARCH OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.,
"at 2am with sniffer dogs!!!!"

THE SEARCH WAS DONE WITH THOSE ALL SO HELPFULL.,"not!!"
AND VERY UNJAILABLE, UNACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE AND YEAH THEY ARE PROVEN TO BE UNRELIABLE IN BLIND FIELD TESTS MORE THAN FIFTY PERCENT OF THE TIME.,
THOSE SO CALLED HITS FOR POSITIVE ARE INDEED FALSE POSITIVES LIKE SOME DRUG TESTS I'VE READ ABOUT!!!!

GOT TO LOVE THE UNCHARGEABLE DRUG DOGS.,
"we might as well call them marijuana dogs.,"
THE WARRANTS WERE ISSUED AND THE PIGS WENT TO TOWN TO BREAK DOWN DOORS AND COMPLETE THE ACTUAL SEARCH FOR..,
YOU GUESED IT!!!
MARIJUANA!!!
THE ONLY COMMON STREET DRUG A DOG CAN SMELL AT LONG RANGE SUCH AS THROUGH A LOCKED DOOR AT 2am!!!!

COCAINE OR METH AND EVEN MUSHROOMS AND THE LIKE HAVE NO REAL OUTSTANDING ODORS A DOG CAN DETECT FROM LONG RANGE.,"like through a door in a breezway.,"
AND THESE DOGS MUST BE REGULARLY TRAINED AND RETRAINED ON THE INDIVIDUAL ODORS TO WICH A REWARD IS GIVEN TO ENTICE THE DOG TO REPEAT THE ACTION OF DETECTION.

GO ON BELIEVE WHO YOU WILL AND WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN YOU CAN SAY TO THE FEW SURVIVORS LEFT THAT YOU READ THIS WAS ALL TRUE AND THIS SHIT WAS GOING TO EVENTUALLY HAPPEN AND IT WAS GOING TO BE REAL BAD FOR AMERICA.

FREEDOM AND LIBERTY WERE HERE AND ALIVE AND WELL SOMEWHERE BUT YOU CANNOT REMEMBER WHERE JUST RIGHT NOW AT THIS MOMENT AS YOU'RE REALLY STRESSED OUT LIVING IN THIS BROKE ASS COMMUNIST RUN UNION OF STATES WITH NO JOB AND NO HOPE OR CHANGE AND THE NEXT TERRORIST ATTACK WAS NOT STOPPED..,
SO NOW AS YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE FEMA CAMP TRAINS TO PULL UP TO THE STATIONS TO TAKE YOU ALL AWAY NOW THAT'S A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS BITCH TOO!!!!

VOTE FOR WHAT AND WHO EVER TO ACCOMPLISH X.,Y.,Z., ALL YOU WANT TO.,
THE FACT REMAINS THAT YOU ARE BEING LIED TO AND CONTROLLED BY UNSEEN AND SECRETE AGENDAS AND PERSONS.

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS CONSTANTLY BEING IGNORED IN THE PLACES WHERE IT MATTERS MOST.,
IN OUR ELECTIONS AND THE PEOPLES COURTROOMS AND HALLS OF GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS BECAUSE OF THE NOW OVER WHELMING ENDEMIC IGNORANCE AND CRIMINALITY OF COMMUNIST TRAITORS IN OUR GOVERNMENTS HIGHEST OFFICES.

HELL MAN!!!!
SHIT FIRE!!!!!
DAMN!!!!
IT HAS GONE SO FAR DOWN HILL THE PEOPLE IN THESE HIGH OFFICES AND GOVERNMENT CONTROL GRID OPERATIONS AND OTHER MAJOR GOVERNMENT PLACES DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE BREAKING ANY LAWS OR EVEN IF THEY'RE VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION!!!!

GOOD LUCK IS ALL I CAN SAY.

REMAIN STUPID AND TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AND THE LIES THAT ARE REPEATED HERE BY NON ALLIED PERSONS TO THIS CAUSE OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY AND TRUTH.

MOVE ALONG..,NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!!

NEVER MIND THIS ALL LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE COMMUNISM AND THE KGB SECRETE POLICE STATE OF THE OLD SOVIET RUSSIA.

WICH BY THE WAY NEVER REALLY COLLAPSED OR IN ANYWAY WAS DEFEATED BY THE COLD WAR.

THE SLEEPING BEAR WAS JUST HIBERNATING A LITTLE WHILE AND THE GAME IS ON AS IT ALL WAYS HAS BEEN.

TOTAL WORLD CONTROL AND ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND ONE WORLD WIDE POLICE FORCE AND ONE POOR ASS ECONOMY.

REMEMBER THE LESSONS.

EVERYONE IS NOW A SLAVE TO THE TAX MAN AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICE CONTROL GRIDS.

FREEDOM FROM WHAT AND FOR WHO???
THOSE SHOULD BE THE QUESTIONS OF THE DAY EVERY DAY.

GROW YOUR OWN, FREE YOUR MIND, FREE THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!

While a certain people will admit to Marijuana use others will not. If asked many people who smoke say no I do not when they actually should say yes I do. Some who smoke now, say I no longer smoke but I used to. This is because they are unsure of who is asking and why.
With the current state of tyranny and secret police we live in a Nazi state not unlike pre WW2 Germany. The police use false flags and brown shirts to entrap and imprison people who if they just shut up could have gone free. As a result a lie seems like the best option. So people skeptical of the question lie for fear of being entrapped.
For this reason all polls are off and many more people are smoking then polls show. I would give the average poll a variance of -50% as at least half the people lie.
I would never admit to smoking to a stranger, in my humble opinion you should never admit anything to a stranger.

‘What would America look like if we had just as many people using marijuana as are presently using tobacco, alcohol, and prescription medications?’ Well, what does America look like today? After all, the federal government imposed criminal prohibition over 70 years ago; yet today that very same federal government admits that over one out of ten Americans admit to having using cannabis in the past year. Among those age 18 to 25, almost half admit to consuming cannabis recently! More People Killed Prescrption Drugs # 1

Stop proglamorizing k2...that is a nasty drug. I will not support synthetic drugs, freon huffing, paint puffing, meth snorthing,etc... It's time for cannabis to distance itself from synthetic drugs. We should not allow pork barrel to be attached to cannabis. Let's see, we want our fiends and neighbors to support cannabis when pork barrel is attached. It will never fly and I will never support it either. Supporters of synthetic drugs should distance themselves from cannabis and form their own support group.

The one thing that the law did was to get people off of the street and into the light of day. For a patient such as myself, the ability to walk in somewhere and have a guy on the other side of the counter tell me what would work best for my condition is priceless. Having the choice to get a little bit of this or that, or eating an edible. I mean what dealer on the street is going to let me do that? Not everyone has a green thumb. I've never grown anything with much success. I hope that the law is amended to allow some sort of remuneration. Can anyone honestly say that a grower deserves no compensation for their effort? I realize that there are those in the judicial system as well as law enforcement that have sour grapes over the law but they all need to realize one thing. The alternative to marijuana is addictive opiates. Which is better for society?

J...one good thing is that politicians don't agree on much right now...and to make any change the AG is mentioning he would need a super majority of 75%. That means 75% of the "hill" must agree on something...an idea of hope...that's what happens when the people make a law not when the law is made against the people.

WTF, I'll have to check it out, I try to keep myself as informed as I can on all political issues, and perspective spliff, I know they are a political movement, I used a bad choice in words there, I should have said they are just passing along information, my fault there, and I have read the laws, the closing of the dispensaries means nothing to me as I am my own caregiver, never trusted those places, plus I know they were out for solid profit, despite what they say. What bothers me about Schuette, is the laws he is trying to implement outside of the dispensary banning. He says patient to patient transfers should be illegal, I don't agree. If both parties are legal card holders, I really don't see a problem with it. There are other things he wants to change as well, but I won't get into them I think I've said enough on this thread.

I don't know what's the beef about closing all the marijuana dispeseries. At least they allow you to smoke marijuanna. I live in a state that regulates alcohol and they have the same rules that they are applying to marijuanna dispenseries. Yet no one complains. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. Children don't need to be around alcohol...like they don't need to be around marijuanna.
Dispenseries owners complain...because they see the mighty dollar...everyone associated with marijuanna wants to get rich. Sorry to break peoples bubble...not everyone can get rich on marijuanna...that includes dispenseries. Some owners will get lucky because they chose the right location...others will have to close. So be it.

If dispenseries really cared about people...they would close especially given the set of conditions. If your dispensery is close proximity to where children congregate by 1000 ft., then close the place.

When it comes to marijuanna...it's not all or nothing. Once everyone lives by the set of rules concering medical marijuanna, everyone will benefit. Hence, all 50 states will legalize medical marijuanna. Medical marijuanna should not make people nervous...espcially if it's done correctly.

Aug 25 2011, 9:44 pm

Re read your post and you will see you made a few mistakes yourself. No one is perfect. If you read here much glab admits to having issues with a brain disorder so pick on him for being afflicted. Look outside maybe there is a wheelchair that needs to be tipped over or a crutch to kick.
As for me no excuses I knew what was going on and was just having a little fun. We all do it. This site is just a fun way to waste time with other idiots. There are a couple of people who are smart and the rest are posers. My buddy logged off a couple of days ago and says he is gone forever and I am sure that makes some people happy. He actually introduced me to the site, he tried to get something going that might have worked. As I am married and such I have no interest in getting involved in activism so this site is great I talk about politics and do not have to do anything, sometimes I try to educate on topics I know about, but realize it is above the heads of most of the other posers. So there is no need to try and change things as the inmate have taken over the asylum and the short bus drove away empty.
If you are looking for some serious activism you may need to look elsewhere.
You may have noticed it is crazy in here and nothing ever gets done. The guy I was talking about did get a couple of things going and he has a web site that gets all kind of hits and some big groups and individuals have given him likes. Cheech, Dennis Kocinich (spelling issue) Ed Rosenthol (No spell checker for that) and others. I hate to say it and wouldn't if I thought he would read it as he is already to proud of the likes. Point is he actually makes a stride or two and has left this area for all the reason you mention. If you want to read real activism or get active you need to visit his site, it is sowhempeverywhere.wordpress.com you might like it a little better a lot more serious and they accept articles from readers if you are that serious they actually list who to vote for and against. I never saw that before.
So sorry you don't like it here we are just having a little harmless fun.
You are right this could be a better site with a moderator. On my friends site they moderate and it is much more serious as are they. The other site accepts comments on the articles and all the stupid stuff is blocked and the prohibs are blocked as well.
Check it out you might like it better. since he left here he has done more work there, that is probably better for the cause anyway. Funny thing is he started the site with another guy he met here and they are both to serious for me.

Enjoy

For starters it was the right wingers who put Schuette in office not the whole state, which by the way with your spelling of his last name, I'm to assume you got your spelling from the same place you got your facts, anyhow back to the corrections, your spelling is downright terrible, here's a tip, there is dictionaries and spell check, use them, you might actually be taken more seriously with better grammar. On to MICHIGANJA, how hard is it to spell douches? Seriously, your posts were mindless, though not as much gstlab3, but pretty mindless all the same. High Times is not saying that only CA gets the best meds, in fact if you read the latest issue, they give MI some pretty good props on what's growing up here, so back down off your rant and get informed. And WTF, you're getting your panties in a bunch over nothing really I'm thinking his comment was mainly directed at gstlab3, but you aren't exactly making a case for yourself with the petty name calling, grow up. The point all you ranters are missing here is that what High Times is trying to do, is keep us informed of what is going on, and how our rights are being violated. So calm down, read the articles, be informed, and be thankful that at least someone is looking out for our best interests.

Thanks to Get Real for that joke I loved it in your post to umm yesterday.

all of your arguments would be so much more convincing (and way more likely to actually be read) if you would squelch the vitriol and attempt to use more than 3 sentences in a row without a 4-letter word.

WTF

gstlab3 check it out the total debt load of the entire real estate market is 10.5 trillion. Out of that 1.5 trillion went bad. So all the government ever needed to do was purchase 1.5 Trillion in bad real estate and there would have BEEN no bubble burst and the people could have stayed in their houses and paid the government back, or not, it would have still been better then what happened. People would have taken jobs at BK or what ever and their loans would have been adjusted to match their new income level, as employment changed payments would be adjusted to match a percentage of their pay.

BUT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED I GUESS AS IT WOULD NOT HAVE DESTROYED THE ECONOMY.

HighTimes seems to read only what they want about the law in MI. The law was to be more personal. A caregiver supports up to 5 patients...that is where they get it. Read up HT before you spread more half truths.
