    Senator Gillibrand slams Big Pharma on opioids and marijuana issues.

    By Michael Komorn

    Senator Calls Out Big Pharma For Opposing Legal Marijuana Tom Angell A prominent Democratic U.S. senator is slamming pharmaceutical companies for opposing marijuana legalization. "To them it's competition for chronic pain, and that's outrageous because we don't have the crisis in people who take marijuana for chronic pain having overdose issues," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York said. "It's not the same thing. It's not as highly addictive as o

    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

    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

    Michigan is licensing marijuana businesses but they still cant use banks.

    By Michael Komorn

    LANSING, MI - It was chilly on the morning of Dec. 15., but Michigan State Police stood outside a state office building. They were there for safety, ready, as the Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation opened its doors, for some applicants to show up with the $6,000 application fee in cash.     Michigan lawmakers authorized a new medical marijuana industry in 2016, and the state began accepting applications to be a part of it on Dec. 15, 2017. But businesses seeking inclusion

The Crack Down

Unfortunately it looks like Michele Leonhart has a hardon for me and every medical marijuana patient in Michigan. The fact that they are trying to obtain a list of all patients from the state is proof that the DEA is not backing off of states that legalize MM just the opposite, they have appointed themselves the overseers of how this state regulates it's laws. Apparently my life long struggle with back pain isn't a good enough reason to use Marijuana as medicine. All I did was apply for the

Federal Goverment Seeks Release Of Mmma Records Federal Vs State Rights

So many of us seem to blindly believe "Federal law always trumps State laws" It seems to repeatedly come up in medicinal cannabis debates where many feel they must surrender to the trappings of slavery by the Federal Government over their own desires to mold State laws with their freedoms of self determination that support the concept of personal responsibility . Our State Law says these records are private and not to be compromised to protect Citizens working under our legal medicinal cannab

Why The Far Right Wants To Treat Cannabis Like Alchohal In Michigan .

Out of words and energy tonight I will leave you with nothing but the facts :   Michigan allows any City, Village, or Township where there are no retail liquor licenses to prohibit the retail sale of alcoholic liquor within it's borders by passage of an ordinance .M.C.L. Section 436.2109   Hence, it is logical Cannabis would be banned , inkind , similar to the tax stamp strategy of old if Michigan went down this path . The problem for prohibitionists is our act was written very cleverly .

How To Build A Grow Room

taken from Cudaweed.com's how to build a grow room     The first step after deciding to grow weed is to set up the space to do it in. There are pretty much 2 options when it comes to setting up a grow room.   1. Buy a pre-made grow tent   2. Build your own grow room.   The first option is obviously pretty simple. Just order the size of the tent that you want, they come in a ton of different sizes now and are pretty affordable.   The next option (in our opinion the better option) is to

Not Just A Word

So many people talk about compassion, just like they talk about love, faith, trust, and friendship. "Oh I am such a compassionate person," or, "I'll be your friend," they say. Then the waiting game begins.   This game is boring, I don't wanna play anymore.   A little compassion goes a long, long way. compassion isn't just a word, it's a way of life. Just as we have our faith, values, ideas and ideals, we have to walk our talk. Actions speak louder than words, though our words are very powerf

It’S Been Two Years? I Must Have Been Having Fun, Because It Does Not Seem That Long.

When I started my Club, I believe there were only Genesee, Saginaw, Downriver, Monroe, and Brighton Clubs. Our format was to educate patients, caregivers, and the general public about Michigan’s new Medical Marihuana Law. There are now many clubs covering the whole state. These Clubs have started for many reasons. Some educate, some provide a place to medicate, some are social, and some are a mix of everything. At the start, the difficulty was in finding a place to go; now the issue would be, wh

Prop.19,republican Governor In Michigan.

Well prop.19 failed in calf.and the reason is simple.Money.Go on weed maps .com and check out dispensaries in just about any area of California and you will find they are everywhere.Then check out the prices,you would figure prices in the sun shine state should be a lot lower than say some northern state,but that is not the case,20-25 dollars for a gram.Remember the dispensaries in calf. are taxed locally and federally.Legalization would have driven down the price of the meds affecting both prof

November Is Lung Cancer Awareness Month....

November is an awareness month for many different things, but I am going to start with information covering lung cancer.   You can get lung cancer even if you never smoked a day in your life. Scientists estimate that environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke ) causes about 3,000 lung cancer deaths per year among adult nonsmokers in the United States.(3) But there are over 30,000 Americans who never smoked that get lung cancer each year.   While smoking has been largely associated with l

15 Million Americans Have Been Arrested Because Pot Is Illegal -- When Will Our Dumb Marijuana Prohibition Be Overturned?

The great divide between politicians and the people is showing itself in California where polls show the voters support Proposition 19 and where the mainstream politicians mostly oppose it. To many Americans, there are few policies more bankrupt than the prohibition on marijuana use, a recognition that a blue-ribbon panel reached four decades ago, urging an emphasis on drug education rather than incarceration.   In 1970, the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse recommended en

'where'd Ya Get It?' Why Medical Marijuana Cards Represent The End Of An Era

By John Sinclair Published: October 13, 2010 When I applied to the state of Michigan for my Michigan Medical Marijuana Patient ID card last year, I didn't designate a particular caregiver, and my card arrived with "NO CAREGIVER" printed across the back. Then my caregiver and I reached agreement and filed new papers with the state to establish our relationship. Soon a new card showed up in my mail with my caregiver's name and address included with my own.   (There
