Michigan Patients no longer be allowed to grow

So it takes a 3/4s supermajority to amend a ballot initiative in MI IIRC.
Don't get too upset about political grandstanding. It's about as useful as trying to teach a pig to whistle. It's frustrating, pointless, and it annoys the pig.

Things are never what they appear... under the surface it lurks.
Right on to that S a H but we're talking about a group of med users that they have addresses, phones, etc. for. YIKES man!
Michigan Patients no longer be allowed to grow
Patients authorized to have marijuana for medical purposes in Michigan would no longer be allowed to grow their own supply under legislation pending in the state Senate.
The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear testimony Tuesday on bills that would change the voter-approved program that began last year.
The biggest change would provide for licensed marijuana growing facilities rather than letting authorized patients or caregivers grow their own. No more than 10 facilities could be licensed per year.
Marijuana would be distributed through pharmacists.
Critics of the legislation say it’s an attempt to make getting marijuana more difficult.
More than 7,000 patients and 3,000 caregivers already are registered under a state program that began in April.

They'll need 3/4 majority to pass any reform to the legislation so contact your local Senator asap ~
info from a friend...
help defeat Senate Bills 616,617,618 that will overturn the vote of the people in 2008 on Medical Marijuana by emailing the Michigan Senate and look for Wayne Kuipers and Gretchen Whitmer. Ms Whitmer is one of our biggest supporters in Lansing and is on our side. We want to amend it to allow for dispensaries and removal of marijuana from the drug testing list as a condition of employment.. Wayne Kuipers and Sen. Alan Cropsey are a bunch of gateway drug worshippers who are from the dark ages. The build more prisons crowd....
or/and go to the hearing in lansing

Dont panic yet
Thanks for the update Pythagllio, information I have has Michigan Medical Marijuana Association director Greg Francisco vying for 1 of the 10 proposed licensed grow facilities.
This is a terrible piece of legislation for sick people that are just getting by as it is. Could you imagine having to give Pfizer, or for that matter... Greg Francisco, whatever cash you can scrape for your meds every week/month?
~ Bent over ~ asking for another SIR !

Umm, well frankly, are there any other mainstream medicines you can grow yourself? Can I imagine having to buy medicine needed to maintain my health from a pharmacy? I don't have to imagine it, that's the way the system works for the most part. But what does happen if the person is indigent is the gov't subsidizes or covers the purchase. If the gov't was willing to pay the freight then it'd be hard to argue for patients producing their own medicine.
I don't know Steve F but would like to submit that you consider that denigrating those within the movement without cause is highly self destructive, so you should be very sure of yourself before leveling such accusations. First, presuming that he is trying to get a license how can you say for sure that he doesn't want the license to keep it out of the hands of a people who just want to exploit the sick? Second but more likely point, why would he be bothering at this time? A 75% supermajority is a ridiculously high hurdle to face. The odds of any of this passing into law in the face of overturning the will of 63% of the people is the stuff of farfetched Hollywood horror movies. Politicians propose legislation every day of the week that has no purpose other than to appeal to their contributor base, and no hope whatever of passing. Don't worry too much about political grandstanding. All it tells us is that there are people with money to give to politicians that want to see these things proposed. Afterward, the politician goes to his contributors with hand out and says, well, a 75% supermajority in the face of 63% voter support is really hard to accomplish without more resources...
