A photograph, if the department requires 1 ONE by rule.

 

 

so will we have to have a photo card,? will or do we have to have a card and a photo it for protections?

 

On the M live it quotes

 

HB 4834 requires a driver's license or state ID card to obtain medical marijuana patient registration cards, extends the card’s expiration from one to two years, and attempts to address a backlog of card applications by calling for the state to contract with a private company to help process and issue registration cards.

It also would allow the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to verify the validity of registry cards to members of law enforcement, without disclosing more information than necessary.

 

(3) The department shall verify to law enforcement personnel

6 whether a registry identification card is valid, without disclosing

7 more information than is reasonably necessary to verify the

8 authenticity of the registry identification card

What's the point of doing this in the middle of the night? Seems like a party on us. When we stood up and told them we didn't want these bills it made it clear we didn't want them. Then it leaves LEO as who the party was thrown for. These are LEO's bills and this was LEO's Christmas Party of Legislators. LEO gets their Christmas Turkey and we get nothing. Not a single thing there for patients. I wish I could find something there but I can't find a single thing, oh wait. there may be one little crumb there. One crumb left over from their feast, two year cards. WOOHOO, we get two year cards.

I have not seen the final bill that passed, but the last one I saw eliminated pictures on the mmj card, but forced you to carry a state id or a drivers license along with your mmj card in order to be fully compliant...

from MLIve: "Starting around 4 a.m., two main bills got 29-9 and 30-8 votes in the Republican-led Senate. Shortly after, the GOP-controlled House voted 98-7 and 100-5 to send them to Gov. Rick Snyder."

 

It was not even close Resto, and I agree with your comment in general. Let this be a warning to the proponents of HB 5580.... you are in for an uphill slog....

Any registered qualifying patient or registered primary

caregiver who sells marihuana to someone who is not allowed to use

marihuana for medical purposes under this act shall have his or her

registry identification card revoked and is guilty of a felony

punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of

not more than $2,000.00, or both, in addition to any other

penalties for the distribution of marihuana.

 

That statement only addresses the illegality of a registered user selling marijuana to anyone who is not registered (which every sane person already knows is illegal). So, without any explicit language to the contrary, one could say that P2P is legal within the language.

 

Inferences aside, I would really like to see explicit language permitting P2P written into the law.

 

 

(edit) Is there anyone here that was part of drafting the original language? If so, wasn't P2P intended to be legal when the law was written? It would make sense that the intent was to allow two different ways of obtaining meds: 1) a patient who cannot grow may name (or contract) a caregiver to grow for them, thus allowing the caregiver (whom may or may not be a patient already) to the grow for that patient up to 12 plants and supply from that stock, or 2) a patient could obtain meds from another patient's stock, as long as the patient providing stays within his/her 12 plant, 2.5oz limit.

There is nothing in these bills to help the patients. All of it was written and designed to make it more harmful and restrictive for patients. Anyone that says we should be fine with these bills can go flower themselves. Come April 1st there will be a whole new set of problems for the patients, maybe sooner.

SFC.... Just for starters how many patients will now loose their caregivers? How will a patient who does not drive ,or dare not drive for fear of being charged with dui even though they havent medicated, how will that patient now get clones from point A to point B given noone else can be in the car but the patient or their caregiver?

The Repubs have no heart, the Dems have no balls, and neither care in the least about the Will of the People or the Welfare of the Patients.

 

Every legislator who voted to give us more grief can kiss my Royal American :butt2: and be assured that I will remember every one of them at the voting booth.

My initial thoughts on 4856

Remember this bill is not an amendment to the act, but is a law creating a new crime –amending public act 328 of the “ The Michigan Penal Code”

A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A

MISDEMEANOR PUNISHABLE BY IMPRISONMENT FOR NOT MORE THAN 93 DAYS ORA FINE OF NOT MORE THAN $500.00, OR BOTH.

HB 4856 was passed with a 50 % vote. It criminalizes the way a patient or caregiver carries their medicine. But wait, pursuant to section 4 of the act, a person who possesses 2.5 ounces has a card (and a photo identifying themselves) is protected against arrest prosecution or any penalty.

First to the legislature, stop creating crimes for people because of their choice in medicine.

Second the idea that a 50% vote can remove the Section 4 protection of the act that would require 75 percent to amend cannot be reconciled.

Third 4856 provides a probable cause basis to search a vehicle, where the act is designed to protect the card (or identification of the patient/ caregiver status) as a basis for probable cause to search, and would seem to be a law designed to circumvent this protection.

“6. Administering the Department's Rules.

(g) Possession of, or application for, a registry identification card shall not constitute probable cause or reasonable suspicion, nor shall it be used to support the search of the person or property of the person possessing or applying for the registry identification card, or otherwise subject the person or property of the person to inspection by any local, county or state governmental agency”
