Bree Green has been terrorized by marijuana. Not by the plant itself, mind you. Nor by her two state-legal medical marijuana patient parents. No, Bree Green was terrorized by a senseless war on cannabis that had state officials in Michigan heartlessly tearing the baby away from her family back on Sept. 13 because of their personal health choices.
But this morning, Bree Green is back with her mom and dad just in time to go trick-or-treating.

Jerry Duval’s siezed grow operation.

Michigan marijuana patient and caregiver Jerry Duval was sentenced to 10 years in prison back in April of 2010 for “maintaining a drug premises” according to federal agents who raided his farm. A decade in jail will cost taxpayers more than $1.2 million.
But it could cost Duval, a cancer survivor several times over now suffering from coronary artery disease, glaucoma and neurpathy, his vision and possibly his life.

State Police in Michigan announced how much they love burning gasoline and wasting taxpayer money earlier this week, bragging about a costly flyover search in Livingston County that – so far – hasn’t resulted in any arrests according to the Detroit Free Press.
But if you live in Deerfield, Handy or Cohoctah and have an outdoor grow, you might want to reconsider harvesting your crops now.

Jackson, Michigan.

Lawmakers in Jackson, Michigan apparently know how medical marijuana patients should use the space in their homes better than medical marijuana patients themselves.
At least, that’s the message they sent last night by passing an ordinance on a 4 to 3 vote that would limit medical marijuana use and cultivation to just 20 percent of someone’s home. The law goes into effect Sept. 12, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot.

The State of Michigan is one step closer to allowing people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder to access medical cannabis legally this week after a state panel gave approval to a citizen petition to add the condition to the list of qualifying medical marijuana ailments.
The Michigan Marihuana Act Review Panel voted 7-2 Tuesday, pushing the motion forward to a public hearing sometime in the next 60 days according to state law. An official vote only be can be taken after public testimony.

Quack.

Among the many natural benefits associated with medicating with marijuana is the sheer lack of detrimental side effects like you see at the end of every prescription drug commercial. But in a half-baked attempt to combat a recent string of favorable headlines for cannabis research, those opposed to the plant are issuing a stern new warning to anyone who smokes (or is even thinking of smoking) pot.
Abdominal cramping, power-puking, and the need for a hot shower – this, they say, is what you are in for if you choose to smoke weed. The prohibitionists are right about one thing; you might need a hot shower after trying to wrap your head around their latest attempt at reasoning.

North Shore edibles in Colorado.

According to the Michigan Supreme Court, THC-infused edibles are not considered “usable marijuana” under state medical marijuana laws unless they contain actual plant material.
Because, you know, THC isn’t useful and doesn’t come from the plant or anything like that.
The decision stems from a 2011 traffic stop in which Earl Chambers was pulled over, searched and slapped with intent to deliver charges for the mason jars and plastic baggies full of herb he had on him as well as for the brownies. Not only was he charged for the dry weight of the dry herb, he was charged with the full weight of the brownies themselves.

“I cannot tell a lie, there’s weed growing over there.”

Some kids and their very un-cool dad yesterday stumbled upon a plot of marijuana growing in a corn patch while the group was out hunting for cherries. Apparently they got all George Washington and couldn’t tell a lie.
According to MLive.com, which broke the story, police were called in to cut down and haul off about 50 marijuana plants from the back part of a cornfield. And apparently, this type of thing isn’t uncommon.

After the Michigan Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that dispensaries have no legal grounds to operate in the state shutting down all but a handful of dispensaries, thousands of patients were left without a reliable and safe means of accessing medicine.
State lawmakers see that as a problem, and are currently in talks over a bill that would legalize and regulate the dispensaries reports Jake Neher with Michigan Public Radio.

Tony Green clearly has a good heart. Sadly, the Michigan Supreme Court doesn’t see it that way.
After Green was arrested for giving the legal 2.5 ounces of marijuana allowed by the state’s medical marijuana code to a fellow patient, a court of appeals tossed out his case saying the transfer was legal. But now the State Supreme court has ordered the charges reinstated and says Green was illegally distributing marijuana. The move could have some far-reaching effects.
