mibrains Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Dear XXXXX,The Senate Government Operations Committee, chaired by Sen. Randy Richardville has announced it will conduct a hearing on two critical medical marijuana bills early next week. The committee will hear testimony on HB 4271 and HB 5104 on Tuesday at 1 p.m. What: Public hearing on HB 4271 and HB 5104Where: Rooms 402 and 403, Capitol Building, 100 S. Capitol Avenue, LansingWhen: Tuesday, March 11, at 1 p.m. HB 4271 would allow local governments to license and regulate medical marijuana provisioning centers (dispensaries). HB 5104 would extend the protections currently in place for smoked forms of marijuana to marijuana extracts, a key ingredient in non-smoked forms of the medicine. Both bills are essential to providing safe and reliable access to medicine by thousands of patients in Michigan. Both bills passed the House of Representatives with landslide votes late last year. Special thanks to all who reached out to Sen. Richardville’s office and asked that he move forward with these bills. If you attend, please be respectful to committee members and be sure to dress appropriately. Also keep in mind that time is often short at these hearings, particularly since there may be other items on the agenda. Please pass this message on to friends, family members, and supporters in MichiganSincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregS Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) This is refreshing. Had Richardville gotten enough heat to let the hearing proceed? Edited March 8, 2014 by GregS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-pain Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 So what exactly happens at these hearings will sponsors of the bill in the Michigan legislature be there? Do you really think that they'll take peoples right to grow there own medicine how can they go backwards on a law? sometimes the sponsors show up, as when sen khan did for 0660 i think. the sponsor of 4271 (rep callton) said vote for 4271 to end home grows. do i think it will happen? i dont know. theres always a chance. how can they? they make the laws, they went backwards on the MMMA in 2012 already, and more bills are coming. so the consensus is, stop voting republican. callton is republican. sen jones is republican. bill schuette is republican. walsh is republican who knows, maybe when democrats are majority they will mess with the law. i really dont know.

GregS Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I wonder if I could get this into the Lansing state journal? We'll never know until you send it. Putting it in as a comment to a story is never an issue. Whether they would print it as a guest piece is up to them. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+washtenaut Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 See if Scott Davis is still there. I don't know the man personally though I met him. He has covered some cannabis issues in the past. If he is not the contact, ask if he could direct you. It is a shot. sedavis@lsj.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregS Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I spoke to Teri the clerk for The Government Operations Committee and the letter will be submitted as written testimony and each member of the committee will receive a copy for the hearing I hope it helps. You have done well. Thanks for the effort. washtenaut, Mtrue101 and Thai1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+washtenaut Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I did not find this hearing. Anyone have a link? All I could find was the general Senate session. Or, at this point, perhaps a replay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-pain Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) cops want to regulate medical things, why? no, seriously, when do police step into the pharmacy ? between the patients and the doctors and the pharmacists? police do not need to stick their noses in this at all. npra lady needs to tighten up her testimony.
