DISQUS

Even though the citizens overwhelmingly approved the MMMP, now is when the "Stigma" of Marijuana comes out. The state wants to protect the citizens who are on the MMMP from those who are not. Not from the patients but from the patients medicine. i.e. Marijuana. Marijuana is still being treated like the "Killer Weed," even though voter's apporve of its use they don't want to see you getting or using your treatment. The main point is Michigan voters want people to have safe access to Medical Marijuana but they don't want it to be obvious nor affect those not on the program. This makes sense, right now. Someday my son's grandchildren will ask their grandpa if they lived in the old days when alcohol was legal and marijuana wasn't. Marijuana is what society wants and the International ONDCP is meeting in April of 2009 in Vienna to tell the world they recommend "Total Legalization of Marijuana." With the truth out that Marijuana is not harmful as are government told us i.e. "Reefer Madness" it is indeed extremely theraputic for many illness and there symptoms. Financially the enforcement of marijuana laws are more dangerous to the victim and society than the drug itself. The only reason there is a criminal element surrounding marijuana is because that's what happens in Prohibition, Remember that?

Another example of government overstepping its bounds. I have read the law carefully and know exactly what is supposed to do.. its pretty clear and does not need a team a lawyers to decipher. My wife smokes weed for medicinal reasons. In some cases it works better than very volatile doctor prescribed drugs.. and it is also sometimes needed to counteract the side affects of said drugs.
As a caregiver I need this law so that I wont go to jail for transporting my wife's monthly ounce of smoke.

Sometimes I think all politicians need a punch in the nads from time to time just to remind them that they are still human. Very frustrating stuff indeed.

Quote from this article

"The Michigan State Police (MSP) appeared at the hearing Monday to register its own concerns about another rule that would require unused marijuana left over after a patient was cured or passed away to be turned over to law enforcement."

No one asked for the return of the morphine my mother took after she passed away.. but they have the nerve to ask for some freaking weed??? Not to mention weed that no insurance plan paid for?

I somehow think the morphine is much more harmful than weed. I also seem to think that its a prerequisite to be brain dead or an ass to ever obtain any position of power. I am 44 years old and have NEVER voted in my life because I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.

I wont continue on how Bush screwed up my much needed FMLA leave during his final days of office.. best I end this here.

Peace
