blackhorse Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 The Michigan State Board of Canvassers approved today the petition to add cannabis legalization to the November ballot. The proposal allows for possession, use, and home cultivation and will make Michigan the 10th state to legalize cannabis and the first state in the Midwest. mishigami bear and Easy E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorium2 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 With the Board of Canvassers' approval, the state Legislature has several options: it could consider the measure and pass it, in which case it would automatically become law; it could offer a competing proposal for the ballot or it could do nothing and let the issue go to the Nov. 6 ballot. mishigami bear and Easy E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Ladd Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 What is the limit on the number of plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-pain Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 the CRMLA / milegalize proposal is 12 plants per adult's premises. so 4 adults in one house means only 12 plants at that address. "cultivating not more than 12 marihuana plants for personal use, provided that no more than 12 marihuana plants are possessed, cultivated, or processed on the premises at once" you can read it here: http://www.milegalize.com/2018_proposal_language we are not sure about the patients and caregivers, if they will be allowed to possess 12 medical plants and 12 recreational plants. but i do not think that will be the case, due to the MMMA saying you are only allowed to possess 12 plants per patient, so if you are a patient-only and only allowed to possess 12 plants medically, you wont be able to have 24 plants total. although i dont see anything in both of the laws that complicate having both 12 medical and 12 crmla at once, if the police and prosecutors both see 12 plants in each law, you better just stick with 12 plants. otherwise you WILL find yourself defending that in court, all because no one actually reads the law (even some of the prosecutors, judges and police! dont read the laws).

Restorium2 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Since everyone qualifies then just grow 12 at everyone's house or yard! Here, there, and everywhere. The thought of it makes me smile. Like the old adage: two cars in every driveway.... 12 plants at every house.

Restorium2 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 On down the road we should expect something like this though(from legal Colorado); At homes with residents under 21, any marijuana grow area must be enclosed and locked in a separate space that minors can’t access. At homes without residents under 21, extra precautions must be taken to make sure any visiting youth don’t have access to marijuana plants.

My guess is that "on down the road" we should expect to see, "no home growing". Law enforcement lobby will be all over this once it becomes law. mishigami bear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy E Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Quote (b) within the person’s residence, possessing, storing, and processing not more than 10 ounces of marihuana and any marihuana produced by marihuana plants cultivated on the premises and cultivating not more than 12 marihuana plants for personal use, provided that no more than 12 marihuana plants are possessed, cultivated, or processed on the premises at once; Quote (i) Possessing more than 2.5 ounces of marihuana within a person’s place of residence unless the excess marihuana is stored in a container or area equipped with locks or other functioning security devices that restrict access to the contents of the container or area. Any thoughts on these possession limits applying to caregivers with more than 12 plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MMMA protects patients from all other conflicting laws and limits. As CRMLA does not touch medical marijuana, the limits found in the CRMLA will not bother caregivers and patients. CRMLA says that right in the language Quote 2. This act does not limit any privileges, rights, immunities, or defenses of a person as provided in the Michigan medical marihuana act, 2008 IL 1, MCL 333.26421 to 333.26430, the medical marihuana facilities licensing act, 2016 PA 281, MCL 333.27101 to 333.27801, or any other law of this state allowing for or regulating marihuana for medical use.

I didn't phrase the question very well. I'm wondering if caregivers who grow more than 12 plants, and who are currently allowed to posses 15oz. will be legally allowed to posses more than 15oz. if " the excess marihuana is stored in a container or area equipped with locks or other functioning security devices that restrict access to the contents of the container or area." ? It would be a whole hell of a lot easier to consistently supply 5 patients and a patient/caregiver if this is the case when the CRMLA passes.

t-pain Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 same answer as before with the plants above. theres nothing in either act preventing you from enjoying both acts. so it just comes down to interpretation by the police and courts. dont be the first person to try your luck. my advice is to stick to one program or the other.

Bon Scott Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Question : If before 40 days both the house and the senate with a simple majority were to vote yes on the proposal, then it would become law without having to go to the ballot in November ( I think this will happen - 1. try to stop Democrats from going to vote in Nov. 2. they can make changes to law w/ just 51% & not 75% . 3 http://michiganradio.org/post/survey-most-michigan-voters-want-recreational-pot-legalized ) When will it become law ? 2019 or sooner?

Mav Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 The legislature is not going to act on legalization. Ironically the Democrats are standing in the way. Their theory is that without the legalization on the ballot the voters might vote Schuette in as governor. I believe that if the marijuana initiative is on the ballot then whoever the Democrats put up for governor will win. Voters will overwhelmingly approve the legalization and while they are there voting there is little chance they are going to vote for the most anti pot politician in the state at the same time. My further prediction is the ballot initiative will pass by 66% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishigami bear Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I think it is preferable that it goes to the ballot rather than the legislature mucking it up. They would probably nix the homegrown provision, and require everyone to purchase from an authorized dispensary. Easy E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorium2 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I think that legalization and kicking Schuette to the curb go hand in hand. I can't imagine them together. I doubt Schuette would go along with legalization. He has made it so clear that he hates marijuana in all forms. Hates marijuana stores the most. He must be suffering greatly right now. That thought makes me feel all warm and fuzzy after years of reading his hateful comments about marijuana.

Michael Komorn Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It is not in stone yet. Really could go either way at the moment. Take the time to call your legislator, tell him or her your opinion on the subject. The quicker, the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
