Warning. Law Changes Will Take Place Instantly.

[bobandtorey]

Here we go

 

Its not that bad

 

Thanks to the people that did try to stop all the Bills

 

We don't support any changes to the Law

[Timmahh]

When should we be locking up the Vicoden, or the Cigarettes, or the Oxycotin? This is BS, and again makes a Separate class of Citizen which is Unconstitutional. Dont give me any taint tears about but but but its the way it is cuz they passed this law. BS and BS. They CAN NOT Create a separate class of Citizen per the 14th Amendment per the US Constitution. This does exactly that by forcing one type of medicine user to do something NO OTHER user of ANY Medicine does not have to do.

 

By creating a Rule, they have created a underclass of Citizens.

it might seem that way on the surface timmahh....

 

but cannabis is still schedule 1 in Michigan and federally.

 

therefore it is not proven as medicine yet... only declared as such by the vote of the people...

so we wait.

we wait for them to "catch up" and learn what all of us already know.

 

it works and it isn't dangerous.

 

eventually when it isn't schedule one.. then maybe it can be treated like "any other medicine"

Timmahh is correct, they are treating us as though we were a seperate class, lower than were the blacks back in the day and lower than LGBT's today. If this is truly a violation of the 14th amendment, the ACLU should go after them?

I think you should rethink that statement. That is incredibly offensive. Remember Governor Wallace standing in the doorway at the U of Alabama to keep black students out of the university? You must have no idea what blacks went through in this country.

 

If you're treated poorly for using marijuana that is something YOU can change even if that means you stop using. When you're born black what was your option? Marijuana users aren't a protected class and this is nothing like what blacks went through. This is a silly and ridiculous comparison.

sorry herb...

while i empathize with your plight.. and your situation

 

i humbly disagree..

 

they are not treating "us" at all..

they are addressing cannabis.

 

not the persons using it.. so no violations of 14th amendments likely i don't think...

 

it has been declared as schedule one (right or wrong it is schedule 1) so with this legislation they said.. lock it up and make sure it's out of reach..

[Highlander]

In 2007 if someone told you that you could have 2.5 oz of MJ as long as when it was in your vehicle you kept it locked up and out of reach, would you have celebrated, or pitched a fit? Let's keep this in perspective.

 

Why do you need your MMJ within reach when you're driving?

Absolutely correct. A protected class, as far as constitutional law is concerned, doesn't include people who use a certain drug.

[CaveatLector]

I am only pitching a fit on a legal basis. They should have amended section 7 if they wanted to do it honestly, but they probably thought they couldn't get the votes so they did it the sneaky way.

Please expound. I'd like to hear your legal theory.

[CaveatLector]

It seems like 4(a) and 4(b) don't allow arrest, prosecution, or any penalty for possession in accordance with the Act. They should have needed 75% to amend section 7.

Ahhh, interesting take on that.

[peanutbutter]

Double check ..

 

Does anyone believe the one law outlawed p2p?

[peanutbutter]

If the locked in the trunk one is required to pass the house, I don't think it will pass there.

[SFC]

Wrong again PB. Not only that but they stayed up all night and passed all four of the bills and they are on the governors desk.

[cristinew]

that suks,,,

[SFC]

Not really.

[cristinew]

It suks to be a patient who lost his caregiver,,,,,

[Restorium2]

There's bound to be some more of the caregivers who's criminal records don't show that their charges are NOT a felony. The courts don't always spell it out on the paperwork and LARA wants to make you clear it up. I had this happen with a misdemeaner drug charge from the 80's. Now all your charges, not just drug charges, will be examined to qualify the caregiver.

Congratulations.

[peanutbutter]

Congratulations to all those that supported these bills.

 

Thank you to all those that worked to soften them.

 

Any news on the other bills?

Edited December 14, 2012 by peanutbutter

[peanutbutter]

Now instead of strutting about me being wrong, how about warning the public about exactly what changes we need to make.

[Restorium2]

Congratulations?

How about flatulations(in your general direction):

[+washtenaut]

Any idea who changed their votes from 6pm to 4am ??

[Restorium2]

Any idea who changed their votes from 6pm to 4am ??

Looks like we(patients) only have about 5 solid supporters. When in doubt just look at my signature. I bet those 4 are part of our 5.

[peanutbutter]

Congratulations?

Does that feel good?

[Restorium2]

Did congratulating Schuette feel good? I'm not the sacastic type individual. I just tell it like it is. Lay the cards on the table. I'm not happy with our legislators and in no mood for congratulations, understand?
