here is the url to the official bill.

 

They are allowed unlimited cultivation, and they may transfer unlimited amounts between provisioning centers.  So they do not need anyone's overage.  And according to Rep Callton a couple weeks ago, he is aware that the Michigan Medical MJ Act will not allow ANY legal transfers to provisioning centers.

 

I personally do not oppose dispensaries.  But this bill sucks, and as written it will be one I fully intend to testify on.  Prolly written testimony is my likely avenue, as rumor has it the "people allowed" to testify will be tightly controlled.

 

hmmm, why do you think that is?

center agent for a provisioning center that is allowed to operate

 


by a municipality.

 

     (13) Before medical marihuana is dispensed or sold from a

 

provisioning center, a provisioning center agent shall make a

 

diligent, good-faith effort to determine that the individual named

reasonably believes to be valid government-issued photo

 

identification.

been convicted of an excluded felony offense during the immediately

I would love to be there for this one, sucks I cannot be. I would encourage any of you with the time to be there. This is a big f'ing deal. Fact is tho, thru this meeting it is going to end up being made clear that 4271 cannot co-exist outside the MMMA, meaning it WILL need 75%.  And I don't see that happening.

Well, they can pass it, but it will be useless since pts and cg's cannot legally sell to a dispensary.  The only way for a dispensary in this bill to acquire cannabis legally is to grow it for themselves. 

 

 It has been said that cultivation will be removed from the bill,.. in which case,... dispensaries cannot get cannabis from anywhere legally.  *shrug*

 

And they(dispensaries) wrote this bill for themselves!!!!

 

What idiots I swear.

 

 We do not want such incompetent fools trying to write law.  They know not what they do, nor the horrible consequences of opening the door of local regulation of commercial operations with inspections, fees etc etc and actually just forbidding commercial operations.  And with that, let me remind people that Caregivers(patients who grow for others) are now being considered to be "Home Occupations"(commercial).

 

 You can all add up all your own 2+2's.  :-)

Cue the usual misrepresentations and falsities.

If it passes, how is it that patients and caregivers will not be able to transfer to the PC as described in the bill language? It wont allow patients and cgs to transfer outside of what they are allowed to do now, with the exception of transferring to a PC. The MMMA is a separate law. This does not effect the MMMA. If you are concerned about being classified as commercial then don't transfer to a PC. Or move to a community that is more friendly and wants the added economic activity.

Caregivers are and will be labeled as a "home business".

 

The MMMAct specifically doesn't allow any registered person to transfer to anyone, except a Cg to their 5 registered patients. Period.  How are they suddenly going to be allowed to transfer to an outside source which goes against the specific language of the Act?  Is there anything in the MMMAct that allows a patient to transfer to a dispensary?  Is there anything in the Act that prevents a patient from transferring to a dispensary?  Are there any court cases that specifically state a pt or Cg cannot transfer outside of said relationship?

 

 Even the Rep's understand this bill is unworkable.  But5 they are more than happy to take your money.

 

So yes,... I am curing the misrepresentations and falsities about this bill.

Mal

It is separate legislation. It allows for things that the MMMA does not. The MMMA does not allow PCs. This does. So your saying that if this bill passes then the MMMA will prevent PCs from opening?

 

Z

In my part of the state there are no issues with zoning, or the threat of being labeled a commercial operation. Not sure how to answer your question Zap. The only place I have even heard of zoning problems are on this board. Does 4271 not specify that the records are confidential. Does HIPPA not still apply?

the MMMA says specifically it trumps any other bill, and additionally it specifies (post McQueen) who a caregiver or patient may transfer to.  Even Rep Callton and their lobbyist admit that the mmma trumps their bill and a transfer is ILLEGAL from a patient or caregiver to a provisioning center.  So fantasize away OG but I have spent the afternoon talking to the involved parties.  Have you??  Or is this just one more sack of sh*t being thrown out to confuse people?  HIPPA has nothing to do with any of this.  That sounds like some kind of stupid Joe Cain crap.  

 

Other options are being worked on, that is true, but none have a clear path of making clarity to this discrepancy.

 

fact....

 

I am not Mal and don't speak for him, though he is a dear friend.

 

What are you trying to ask or say?

The MMMA Trumps any other bill that conflicts with what it allows. How would 4271 conflict with the MMMA? The MMMA would stand as it is if 4271 passes. I'm not seeing the issue. 4271 adds additional allowed activities. The MMMA does not say anything about marijuana needing to be in a container while being transported, yet somehow that bill passed and was implemented.

 

Identifying medical information has nothing to do with HIPPA? Ok.

 

So is this not a place to discuss these things?

 

EDIT: removed unnecessary statement of what the sack of sh*t actually is.

No I do not have a fix, if it indeed does end up being a problem.

 

Perhaps I am not understanding the legal reasoning/process. It seems that a new law is being created. It does not alter the MMMA. It adds a new law on the books that says a PC may exist and it may have marijuana transferred to it by patients and caregivers. The two laws do not appear to conflict to me. The MMMA is not altered by 4271. 4271 is its own law that grants its own actions. If 4271 stated that a patient could no longer have a caregiver then I would see a conflict.

 

So if a person was arrested for transferring marijuana to a PC they would not be able to defend themselves via the MMMA. They would defend themselves via 4271.

Refer to the MSC decision and the fact Cg's can only transfer to their 5 patients in the MMMAct.  Those alone should explain everything ya need to know.

 

You have argued this point incessantly in threads from previous days.  If you still don't get it,... me typing more isn't going to help.
