The Michigan Right To Farm Act

[peanutbutter]

If growing marijuana isn't farming, then I don't know what is.

 

 

Send a link of this to anyone in your local government you can get an e-mail address for.

 

Most important for those in the process of considering attempting to undermine our rights.

LOL .. no like elected local government officials.

 

Monsanto doesn't get stuck being sued for violation of our civil rights.

A few problems I see with the Right to Farm Act (and re: Prop. 1/MMJ in MI)

 

http://www.legislature.mi.gov/%28S%28w4de1dyi34mmkp4515vxf045%29%29/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-286-472

 

1)(From Definitions of the law above)

"(a) “Farm” means the land, plants, animals, buildings, structures, including ponds used for agricultural or aquacultural activities, machinery, equipment, and other appurtenances used in the commercial production of farm products."

(Emphasis added)

A lot of MI residents use the Right to Farm act for Chickens. To then qualify they must be "commercially producing" aka they will throw a sign out front "Eggs 4 sale" (even if $200/Dozen) therefor establishing that you had commercial sales going on.

 

With our MMJ law, I wasn't aware commercial sales was allowed? (Sarcastic sorry) lol Just seems hard to establish that part of the law when it would violate our law?

 

2) This act was created initially for "Nuisance suits" (Aka your chickens are too loud, your tractor creates to must dust on the road, your employees coming and going @ 3am to milk the cows are waking the neighbors up) and occasionally with zoning regulations (Civil ordinances from local municipalities) (worse case Civil Infraction)

 

Does anyone know if the MI RTFA has ever been used (successfully) with a criminal case (felony/misd?) Couldn't find any....

My answer:

 

If selling one single dozen eggs makes it a commercial activity then what's the question?

 

The Medical Marijuana Act allows for caregivers to grow and then charge money for their services.

 

These caregivers are commercial farmers.

Our attorney's are going to be set for life.

 

Their IRA's and 401k's will be fully funded when it's over.

No, but Monsanto would like nothing else than to eradicate those rights.

They had applied for the patent on every pig born globally - no kidding.

If they come up with the "terminator" cannabis seed, that could be a problem.

They can't patent all the pigs globally cause they'd have to patent themselves too, wouldn't they?.
