Medical Marijuana Is Top Priority For House Panel In December

[bobandtorey]

True, and the list goes on lol

And if we all knew what was coming next that would help a lot

bob is saying no one has been able to say medical marijuana in front of a jury.  It has been done almost without exception to the Judge or for a bench trial.

Wish there were more cases, showing us exactly who could not and for what reason.

[trichcycler]

Right On !

I do not wish there were more cases.

[GregS]

Sec. 8. (a) Except as provided in section 7(b), a patient and a patient's primary caregiver, if any, may assert the medical purpose for using marihuana as a defense to any prosecution involving marihuana...

 

Is it too much trouble to look to the law? Forgive me, but I thought this was common knowledge in the community. If anyone is unaware of that, please refresh yourselves or read it for the first time.

Yea that didn't sound right, of course I wish there are no more cases, what I meant to say is, I wish there were more cases available that have already been through the system.. Wish there were NO cases in existence period..

There was a case not to long ago, people Vs. Milliken, his Sec 8 failed, not sure why though.. Another thing I wish they would change is, "People Vs xxxxx" if it really was "the people" then "the people" voted for MMJ for an alternative medicine...

Try State v xxxx. They are used pretty much interchangeably for purposes of citation, though not always.

You beet me too it Lol  we both are watching how this is going down and it is only my opinion that we need a Army of Patients and Caregiver to show up

 

and if anyone is going from my area i could use a ride this is going to be one of the times that does count on all to get involved and put down any kind of disagreements you may have within this site or others

 

I would hope that the Lawyers will be there?

[GregS]

I will be there pending family medical issues. At the very least I will submit a few to several pages of written testimony.

[GregS]

Would you like to compare notes zap? I will begin my draft tonight, and think it is a good idea to walk members through the process.

Any updates? I'm an eager one for more info! I'm confident they will allow Dispencaries in some form, also the Medibles... Thousands of people prefer to eat cannabis over smoking it. I'm curios to know when this will be heard aswell, when in Dec.

yes they are open to the public, but seating is limited.  If it is an overflow crowd typically they open additional rooms and you can watch on closed circuit tv.

 

the hearing room is 521 of the House Office Building aka The Anderson Building...

 

located across the street from the Capitol, one block East….

 

It may be on internet tv as well, and for that you need to view using Microsoft Explorer...
