    Medical Marijuana Victory in Clarkston!

    By Michael Komorn

    Komorn Law, PLLC and Attorney Allen Peisner are proud to report the well-deserved dismissal of all marihuana charges for a young man and his family. We are proud about this one for many reasons. It is well understood that this jurisdiction (Clarkston - in the heart of Oakland County) is not known to be friendly to medical marijuana patients. In fact, in this venue at the arraignment, this particular Judge as a matter of practice tells the presumptively innocent patient that they must decide if t

    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

    Years of blood, sweat and tears to get Autism as a Qualifying Condition in the MMMA.

    By Michael Komorn

    We have come a long way from 2013, when a parent submitted the first petition to add Autism as a qualifying condition within the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act. It was ultimately rejected due to a lack of any research materials and testimony. http://komornlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Final_Determination_Autism_436526_7.pdf In 2014, a Parent tried to submit a new Autism petition with some testimony about physicians treating Autism patients who qualify due to also having epile

    Komorn Law recommends keeping medical marijuana card and protections.

    By Michael Komorn

    After the legalization of marijuana in Michigan, some patients are thinking they could stop paying the state $100 for the special mmp card , and just use the recreational marijuana law to grow their medicine. A patient with a registered card can use the ultimate defense and immunity to avoid a driving under the influence charge. Only adults 21 or over are protected by the new legalization law, but no one yet knows how the new law will affect driving privileges. Is the zero toleran

    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

Marijuana And Dui Laws

Marijuana and DUI Laws: How Can We Best Guard Against Impaired Driving?   How do laws against driving under the influence of marijuana work?   Blood testing seems to be the only reliable method to determine the actual level of THC in the body, since urine tests cannot show that a person has recently used marijuana. Depending on quantity and strength, a single dose of THC produces metabolites in urine that last for at least 12 days — long after the psychoactive effects of the substance have w

Medical Marijuana Is A Freedom Issue...

Anyone who fears that the use of medical marijuana will cause an upsurge in recreational use should fear not.   Our current Republican administration, especially conservative Republicans dislike bureaucracies run amok, and the bureaucracy which wants to restrict and limit the medical use of marijuana is a classic example. Conservatives resist uncanny thinking - the notion that bad things cause bad deeds - when liberals apply it to firearms: the same principle should apply to drugs.   We c

Medical Marijuana Movement Needs To Move Forward...

Medical marijuana dispensaries may be in jeopardy after the Michigan Court of Appeals panel ruled them illegal. However, now more than ever is the time for legislators and communities to prepare for the strong uprising of the grassroots movement that is not just going to go away. The medical marijuana issue needs to move forward; the appellate panel’s decision last week makes the law in the eyes of non-supporters even more blurred and foggy. The state’s current Republican attorney general, Bill

Painful Diseases & Conditions

On the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs site is a department called, Pain and Symptom Management. Here is a page called, Painful Diseases & Conditions. With the changes lawmakers want to make to the MMMA, I would like to see new things listed as named conditions under the MMMA. After all, shouldn’t those people whom the state has acknowledge are suffering with pain be given the same opportunity for relief as those people suffering with the discomforts of Cancer, glaucoma, positive status for

Why End Marijuana Prohibition

Bill Schuette Is At It Again...

Michigan Attorney General Wants to Make Life Harder for Sick People   by Morgan Fox August 12, 2011     Have you ever noticed how prohibitionists in power keep fighting medical marijuana by saying that it is out of control, and somehow causing a breakdown in society, endangering the public, sending the wrong message to kids, etc.? Have you also noticed that they will freely spend time and taxpayer money trying to undermine medical marijuana programs and restrict the rights of patients?

Kalkaska County - Legal Grow Seized

I know there are lots of folks out there that have encountered Brian Donnelly, the Prosecuting Attorney in Kalkaska County. On Friday, the TNT, Michigan state boys and unidentified others raided our home and seized the legal plants growing in a fully secured (top and bottom) facility. My husband had stepped away from the enclosure, into the house, at the wrong time. The cops arrived to find unlocked gates and despite state-issued plastic cards that qualified us for more plants than we had, th

Don't Throw Those Stems Out! Make Stem Oil

Another recipe using yet another part of this great healer that we just toss out! My last "recycle" recipe was using root balls for topical applications. The stem oil is used in recipes or taken as is. Dizz   1) grind stems or cut up into small pieces. A coffee grinder will do the job nicely 2) In slow cooker add stems and enough oil of your choice (olive, canola, coconut etc.) to thoroughly cover stems. You may need to add oil to compensate for the loss of oil due to the stems absorbing oil

Dispensary

This was suppose to help people who benefit from the use of "Medical Marijuana". All I see is greedy people trying to make as much money as they can , while they can. There is no compassion for a "Cancer " victim living on $678.00 a month from "SSI". I would like to start a non-profit business to supply these people with either very low cost or none at all for their meds. So any growers who are in this for the right reasons. Let's talk.

Medical Marijuana Coverage On "off The Record"

Uncle Bud made the original post, and I thought Tim Skubick and the OTR panel did a very nice job providing an over view of the top issues facing the MMJ community.   So I'm just increasing visibility of the OTR coverage for the MMMA community.   Coverage begins at the start of the show.   Well worth the watch   OFF THE RECORD coverage of the state of Michigan Medical Marijuana   I also found their bantering and innuendo to be in favor of the MMJ community, for the most part.   Let

I Am Scared To Go Out In Public On Public Lands

If you are a medical marijuana user you should be too. If you use any drug you should be.   Okay, the State is well beyond common sense these days and the continuity of laws are becoming intertwined and contradicting themselves.   Here is my story.   Last September i was diagnosed with cancer but had my card before that. I am a vet and with no job or any medical insurance marijuana becomes my medication by choice and economic reasons. We know how expensive medicine can be. After my surgery
