    Warrantless Wiretapping Encourages Constitutional Rights Abuses

    By Michael Komorn

    Warrantless wiretapping is a terrible idea and is unconstitutional. It was created at a time when America was thought to be at WAR with the terrorists. 17 years later, America was always at war with the terrorists. Illegal wiretaps of all communications continue, but are solely focused on Americans, and more specifically focused on the war on drugs, not terrorism. Not to be outdone, the NSA and DEA know that their secret illegal wiretaps are illegal and would not be used as evidence in the

    Making A Federal Case Out Of Marijuana

    By Michael Komorn

    Our client, a medical marijuana patient registered with the State of Michigan, was out for a boat ride and some fishing on his friend’s boat. What started out as a glorious day with intentions of sun and fishing on the Detroit river later turned into federal charges of possession of marijuana (21 USC 844, 21 USC 844a) when a Border Patrol agent pulled up to them and wanted to search their vessel.   Related: Michigan law regarding marijuana manufacture, delivery, and possession   The federal

    Why was medical marijuana banned?

    By Michael Komorn

    As this news hit in the last throes of 2017, it seems appropriate to take a step back and understand why exactly marijuana was banned all of those years ago.

    Don’t Beauregard that joint my friend.

    By Michael Komorn

    Attorney General Jeff Sessions January 4th memo regarding marijuana enforcement is historic... and it should promptly be consigned to the dustbin of history. Mr. Session’s very name is a history lesson. Like his father and grandfather, he was named after Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederacy and P.G.T. Beauregard, the first prominent general of the Confederate Army. These were the men who lead the people of Alabama in their desire and purpose to join the “slave-holding

Perry Clark (D-Louisville) believes so--he's filed a bill, the Gatewood Galbraith Medical Marijuana Memorial Act, to be considered in the 2013 legislative session.   "It's time Ke

Hello To All Mmma Members

Hello to all members of the MMMA.   I would like to introduce myself.   In 2004 I injured my lower back in an accident. After meeting with several doctors, surgery wasn't an option for me. The only thing the doctor's could do for me, was to prescribe narcotics for me. I started out with vicodine, after upping my dose for several months, I was switched to the Fentyl patch, which i have been told is synthetic morphine.

Marijuana As A Gateway Drug: The Myth That Will Not Die.

Marijuana as a Gateway Drug: The Myth That Will Not Die     If all the arguments that have been used to demonize marijuana, few have been more powerful than that of the “gateway effect”: the notion that while marijuana itself may not be especially dangerous, it ineluctably leads to harder drugs like heroin and cocaine. Even Nick Kristof — in a column favoring marijuana legalization — alluded to it this week in the New York Times. In what is known as the “to be sure” paragraph, where op-ed w

Being I was politely told that posting such adverts about clones was not allowed I moved on.

Today is Independent’s Day; the day set aside by Congress to celebrate freedom. When this day was first established, it was to tout the colonies freedom from British oppressors. What freedoms are we celebrating today?   Some people in this country will celebrate the Federal Supreme Court deciding that we may have possible freedom from bankruptcy caused by ever increasing medical bills. Granted, we may end up fined for lacking medical insurance.   It’s not talked about, but I see the farming

When I Think Of The Transfer Of Cannabis,

When I think of the transfer of cannabis, I think of the caregiver who transfers the materials she/he has grown or purchased to the patient who has them listed under their state registration.   When I think of the transfer of cannabis, I think of the patient who might give some material to a friend.   Being that not all patients smoke; I think of the transfer of cannabis, I think of the foods and topicals that are exchanged for cost.   I never envisioned the Act as a way to make a profi
