    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

    Medical Marijuana Victory in Clarkston!

    Michael Komorn Fights Against Asset Forfeiture in Michigan

    By Michael Komorn

    Michael Komorn has worked tirelessly for his clients at Komorn Law PLLC to return property seized and forfeited to the police. The items and property seized often has absolutely no medical marijuana (or any crime at all) connection whatsoever. Just looking at the list of things seized, none of it makes sense. 4 wheeler? Gas generator? 401k retirement account? Cars purchased 20 years ago and restored. Ladders, children's birthday money taken out of their Hallmark birthday cards. iphones, ipads, c

From: Senate Judiciary Hearings On Walsh Bills June 12

This was posted to another activist listserv by Tim Beck, and reinforces what I heard from Jones' office today:     They will be taking public testimony, but they claim that no changes are planned, so we should expect a floor vote very quickly after they are referred out of committee. They will likely clear the Senate and become law before they end session for the summer on the 14th.       Source: Senate Judiciary Hearings On Walsh Bills June 12

A judge in the Netherlands has upheld a new law to ban foreign tourists from entering cannabis cafes.

Macomb County To Take Stand Against K2
