Court cases involving medical marijuana

These communities have been sued over ordinances restricting medical marijuana:

Bloomfield Township -- Sued last year in Oakland County Circuit Court by two anonymous residents who said the city's requirement that state-approved patients register with the police department violated privacy provisions in the state law that allows medical marijuana.

Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and Livonia -- Sued in December in Wayne County Circuit Court by a Birmingham couple in their 60s, who said the communities' ordinances amounted to bans on medical marijuana. The couple said they want to use marijuana in their home, take it to a private club in Bloomfield Hills to control the wife's symptoms during long social events, and grow it in a warehouse they own in Livonia. Lawyers from the Detroit-based Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union represent them.

Lyon Township -- Sued last month in Oakland County Circuit Court by a resident who received a notice from the township Dec. 20, saying he had 30 days to destroy marijuana plants inside his mobile home. The lawsuit said he is HIV positive and uses marijuana to counteract nausea caused by his medications.

Royal Oak -- Sued Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court by a resident who said he suffers from cancer and back ailments. His lawsuit said Royal Oak's ban on growing medical marijuana and other restrictions conflict with the state law that allows medical marijuana.

SCF thanks for posting. Do you think possibly the Counties and officials will take note and stop getting in the way of patients rights. Or will a few of these have to go through the court system, be resolved in favor of the patients, depleting the counties of their tax payer funds, before they get it? DD

its that long slow fight, the more we win in the supreme court, the more similar cases get dropped from filed motions as defenses. I think its very obvious they dont TAKE NOTE lol, besides on how to do it better next time. They already have proven they wont stop attacking marijuana, growers, sellers, and users. Even hemp producers of viable product. It boils down to money. As it is the root of.... power.. now if someone they dont like ends up with a lot of money. They know they now have a lot of political clout ( I.E. donating to campaigns, companies etc for personal gain, and implement their belief system. They wont stop till they win, or we have a civil war. and at this point, i dunno if either is gonna come the way our finances are. Another reason they are fearing marijuana. As more people would be willing to venture into the biz of something they know nothing about to make money....

So if all these club owners etc decide to get together and make legalization, education, which obviously does not coexist with our governments ideas on how people should live their lives... but we are the land of the free right? pfff


Honestly doob, and i use to be a highly active as a voter and believing in my party. I now, and i swore i never would ever feel this way.

I believe our government is 100 percent full of crap, and democrats, republicans, green party, Tea Party, Independents is just a way to control us, confuse us, and make us against each other. Whats the best way to get away with a lie, making someone believe its true. like legal slavery 40 hours a week, for a house that the bank owns, which the government pretty much owns. They got it all figured out when the crap hits the fan!!!! and they know we could be VERY close.

It boils down to divide and conquer tactics. If we are against each other for personal beliefs, than we sure dont have enough energy to actually fight against the MAN. Which takes several people to Large organizations to even begin such high profile cases, etc.

I believe they did a great job at setting up a economy, where they created legal slavery with every citizen, and the fact Marijuana Club Owners and associates are making money. who knows how much. could be 30,000 a year, could be over 100,000 a year. It goes against their colter, and how THEY want things ran. in a controlled environment, because the one thing they cant control... is Chaos.... As that my friend, is a fair playing field.

I probably wont vote much from here on out, unless marijuana stuff comes on teh ballet, and political leaders I KNOW have NO PROBLEM being outspoken in this hostile environment, us marijuana consumers live in. Fear.... but 10 times worse than the average citizen. Heince why we are so F'n paranoid eh? Lets pray for 100 percent legalization and soon, or at least a drop to scheduled 2. I've banked on sched 2 first. But now, i dont think anyone in politics, in this day and age, wants to commit political, career suicide over a plant, they feel is basically legal anyways.


ok done with my rant,

doesn't mean im not happy in life. im actually happier this way, as i feel i can be more myself, not doing what everyone else is... and following my soul! its excepted more and more, the people are learning at a alarming rate, our government has been, and is, FULL OF SHIT. Thank god for google!

Buddy I agree with a lot you say here..but this ^^ I never thought of, interesting.

Indeed this causes a big time problem for them having masses of people gathering together in opposition. Your comment about Google goes right along with this!

Legal or Schedual II..I've been contemplating this lately, and of course 100% would eliminate Sched II, but dropping to II would be a great start and boost for everyone. It should have never been Schedual I to begin with.

Sort of reminds me of the recent election putting, or pitting, med patients and people that want to grow and smoke at odds with each other. Dividing us and our main objective, legal cannabis for the world. We gain a lot by dropping the clasification, thus make future goals easier, and make great strides towards legalization. Yet full legalization would be optimal.

Glad you got to Rant..I'm right behind you...DD

You would think with all the studies & research that has been done, mostly in other countries that determined Cannabis is medicine, like any of that already knew from experience! That our federal government would of come to the realization to legalize or at least re-schedule cannabis!
Then you look at all the money we have spent & the people that suffer for growing a PLANT to ease their suffering WTF! WTF is it going to take to end the madness?
I think maybe I should move to a country, Portugal comes to mind, but then again the grass isn't always greener on the other side!
All we can do is keep working on getting the message out!
I wrote a letter to AARP I guess I'll see if they publish it in the mail section!

Funny thing is, it just came to me when i wrote it, thinking of hum bolt and all the people moving here from back east, new york and shit, buying land and growing.. if we did that to their state.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh all of assuden California is the cool state. Haters hAHAHA

I had no google, when i was a kid, i had a 386, then a 486. i remember paying 200 bucks for a 10 gig 7000 rpm Baracoota. LOL, i still got it!

Now im filling up my 1 TB in just a couple of months!

packs bong load to soak in these last paragraphs....

prime example of moles among us.. the sad part is, on the internet, its so easy to be a mole, i know of cities when doing major stings have at least 50 plus agents for a small to medium size county.... Imagen on a federal level...

I know a lot of us have gotten good at it here who pay attention to members. and has trolls who enjoy creating animosity. You learn how to identify these people. Just like back in the day, when we had no craigslist list, and INTERNET. We had to Score the old fashion way. Call a friend or you were lucky enough to know the dealer. But after meeting several new people in the " Market" you will meet those me me me people. Who will rob u and lie to you in a second without guilt. And unfortunately, those hard lessons, some more violent than others, and more common.

Characterizing someone is very easy. just by the way they spell, write their sentences, space out their sentence after the period, .... weed kicks in... Creeper LOL... and i lost my train of thought....

oh i went back and finished it LOL

but yeah, in lamens terms, being street smart, you either got it or ya dont! and if ya got it, then you know to be very weary of people that can hide identity well.. and tries too.... shady shady people i tell ya

say...is it not been 200 years since the last revolution?

 

[crazybear]

Got an e-mail from AARP sounds like they are not going to publish my response!?
Seems like they are only worried about getting people off drugs, instead of alternatives, other than just putting up with the pain!

way past it buddy and if we want to keep our freedoms, liberties, and prevent our government from becoming tirany, and stale. Time to fight for our rights.... and not in a nice, sit down, hippie kinda way.

SCF I'm not sure where I stand on this with recent developments. I can see that being patient, non-violent, meeting and working arm in arm with government has taken the legalization movement leaps and bounds forward. It seems now, with the new law enforcement intervention with patients and collectives in Cali and Montana, that those law enforcement actions are leaving people confused, bewildered. Definitely we have rights, and the right to good safe medicine shouldn't be one that is even debated. I think there's a lot of pharmaceutical money influencing a lot of the decisions made by our elected officials, instead of good ol common sense. If so those decisions won't be swayed or changed by quiet fireside chats by people that want cannabis legalized. The populus has to see and understand what is really going on. DD

Evidently we dont have rights, they seem to be privileges. Truth is, our whole world is going to shit. And we are in for a big ride. Our money doesnt mean anything anymore. And when Our government sees a problem. They fix it, anyway they can..... think about it... Love ya bro. Glad i could put a smile on ur face. Take care my man!
