Michigan Penal Code

[Kevin]

This section of MPC refers to the destruction of medical plants. Just another reason they won't recognize cannabis as medicine as they would be charged by law every time they play Leo Scissorhands.

 

 

[From Michigan Penal Code Chapter 85]

 

750.551 Trespass; injuring and destroying medicinal plants.

Sec. 551. Trespass upon field, etc., and injuring or destroying ginseng, golden seal plants, etc.—Any

stored, growing, drying or being, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Maybe the 'Penal Code' should be changed to 'Penile Code'.
