noctuanlreef Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 hmm.... i couldn't verify it but i wouldn't doubt it. most counties in michigan are pushing to block all marijuana "businesses" from opening and spreading. Washtenaw county was the only real open county that's allowing it to happen, however they aren't allowing anymore dispenseries to legally open until they can put more regulations on the new businesses as they can.

noctuanlreef Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I can understand that they don't want 100's of medical dispensaries, but bans aren't going to float. the other cities aren't "banning" it, but they are putting "moratoriums" on the opening of anything until they can "figure out how to do it properly". .... which to me means they are blocking it as long as they can until the people fight it and they have no choice.

tricloud Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) These idiots only want to hinder us. Why don't they EVER work on some legislation to help the sick instead of fighting their god given right to chose their own medicine? There are so many REAL problems in our state that NEED to be addressed, why not deal with those first??? Are there any statistics that show that crime has risen since the MI med mj law? I was told crime has gone down.... If there is no problem then why are they wasting their time and our money on a non existent problem? I think we need to work on a new petition that demands that our leaders and law enforcement focus on real problems.......... We can't be wasting money our state doesn't have on problems we don't have! Edited February 21, 2011 by tricloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
