Buying Off The Street ?

[tooldini]

an attorney I heard from today said once your legal you can buy off the street. The only difference is one person will go to jail one will go home LOL anyone else heard this. Sorry if this is a repost but I searched and found nothing.

I guess that is how it is suppose to work I bet it don't though. I bet the police would want you to snitch on the seller then they would threaten to take you to jail if you didn't. I can't see a cop just sending you on your way with out at least charging you at a later date. So just remember don't talk to police when you get to court they lie even more and get away with it. Be safe act like you are not legal at all.

[tooldini]

The attorney did say to act as though your not legal to keep it safe because who needs the hassle of court even if you will probably get it thrown out.

ROYAL OAK — The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan will not represent the patient whose medical marijuana was seized by police during a traffic stop earlier this year.

 

The ACLU offered to provide legal services for Christopher Frizzo, 46, of Royal OAK to help him get back 6.75 grams of medical marijuana prescribed for his multiple sclerosis. However, Frizzo declined.

 

“They don’t want to seek any type of compensation monetarily for the suffering I’ve gone through,” Frizzo said, adding that he was hospitalized within six weeks of police confiscating his medical marijuana.

 

“I have medical documents that prove I suffered a relapse. It’s clear I have suffered irreparable harm physically and emotional damage. I was harassed and had my medicine taken.”

 

Rana Elmir, ACLU spokesperson, said she couldn’t comment.

 

“Mr. Frizzo has chosen not to retain the ACLU in his challenge, but I can’t get into the details,” she said. “We do wish him the best and support his cause.”

 

ROYAL OAK police pulled over Frizzo for an improper lane change on Jan. 11 on Woodward Avenue. He has a state-issued card identifying him as a patient qualified to use medical marijuana. However, his card was stamped “no caregiver” to indicate he obtained it from someone registered with the Michigan Department of Community Health. Police confiscated the medical marijuana because Frizzo couldn’t show he got it from a registered caregiver.

 

“The officer took it and I went without it until my next disability check,” Frizzo said. “The next month I had a seizure, migraines and couldn’t breathe. I had to go to the hospital.”

 

The ACLU contends Royal OAK police “unlawfully confiscated” Frizzo’s medical marijuana. Their attorneys have said marijuana from any source enters a “safe harbor” once it is possessed by a registered patient and it can’t be taken by police.

 

The ACLU had asked Royal OAK police to return Frizzo’s medical marijuana or reimburse him for it. The ACLU also asked the police to assure the public the department wouldn’t seize medical marijuana from registered patients who obtain it from unregistered individuals.

 

ROYAL OAK City Attorney David Gillam said the state act passed in 2008 wouldn’t set up a caregiver registry if patients could obtain medical marijuana from anywhere. He recommended Royal OAK police refuse the ACLU’s requests.

 

Frizzo said the ACLU was ready to file a lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court, but he decided not to go forward with the Detroit affiliate. Frizzo said he will contact other ACLU branches and civil rights attorneys.

 

“The ACLU in New York sued Jet Blue for a man who had to cover his Arabic T-shirt and he was awarded $240,000,” Frizzo said, “but they don’t want to seek anything for someone who has a serious illness and had their medicine taken away. We’re not on the same page.”

 

Frizzo contends any lawsuit against Royal OAK police should seek damages for his personal suffering in addition to settling the question of whether police can seize medical marijuana from registered patients.

 

“This is an important issue,” Frizzo said. “People are not taking marijuana seriously as a medicine. To not seek compensation for medicine taken from a sick person puts out a bad message.”

The Fact is : that as Patient you can Buy

your Marijuana ANYWHERE you want ....

 

That is the Law....

 

But Always use " Common Sense "

[christinax4]

the law was written in a way to insure patients wouldnt be without meds...but be careful! I have heard the same thing.

So it seems to me from all I'm reading, we're still forced to hide underground even when legal. That really sucks.

 

Edit: I'd be afraid to buy off the street when I am legal.

LEO likes it that way...... Under their thumb..... I would like to see the state have an officers in-service across the state, were they can properly educate there employees on how the laws in MI are interpreted. Peace, Love, and Big Buds

[tooldini]

An in-service for officers is a great idea. My wife is a teacher and they have them all the time to educate them on new programs and such. That would help so much but I am gonna stay pretty low even legal just to keep from any trouble.

I would personally like to see it growing in the wild everywhere! If some seeds just happened to blow away in the wind, in every ditch, field and flowerbed in Michigan, it would sure make it easier for MM patients to get it. I would love to be able to hunt MM like mushrooms, of course I would have to get one of those Amigo's with off road tires!!

Way too much paranoia these days..Im guilty of being nervous too regarding the new law.But yes if your carrying a card you walk they dont.Its the sad limbo this progression from illegal to legal will take..Look at your history.When we were legalizing alcohol,there were different phases it took to finally become legal.You dont hear of too many doors being knocked down on legal marijuana grows nowadays,try that 10 years ago...Baby steps is where we're at now....I wouldnt want to be the guy holding the billboard yet ill pass him a fatty if he needs it.procare420@yahoo for the best meds.

[tooldini]

I feel like I may be more worried being legal that if I were to just get in my car and go to a friends and buy a sack illegally LOL that shouldn't be.
