Happy or Disappointed | Medical Laws

[floralheart]

I kind of thought Queen would be playing We Are the Champions my friend until I was off this planet, and the walls would come crashing down, and as long as you had a medical card you'd be fine.

I'm wrong.

There are laws and more laws, all seemingly to discourage the citizen from participating in the medical marijuana program.

One day cannabutter was legal, then it wasn't. One day you could grow plants for your patients, then you had to limit the number plants growing in one space; and if you aren't a lawyer, you just committed a crime.

No hash, no oil, no this, no that.

Happy or Disappointed with your states medical marijuana program and laws?

WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU FOR THIS POST>> i love hearing about how things are in other places.
In Georgia: *Cop pulls you over*
"sir i have a medical card"
"yo gon need an insurance card you sombitch drug dealer, and this is 300 feet from a chuurch, that's fateral offense" *pulls you through window.

Medical Card?
How about if you get caught WITH IT , or anything having to do with. Probation and almost guaranteed jail time.
Growing? They will hit you sticks, again and again, and take the property.
How can my state be like the legal states? I wish someone knew the answer to that..

I live in Arizona and I'm pissed that they let me grow 12 plants and then open a dis within 25 mile of my home and now I can't grow.

I didn't renew because of this reason alone.I won't buy from a dis,I've never even been in one.

I'm looking to see the state go legal,so that is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

i don't care for the dispensary model too much at all.
1. don't like leaving paper trails with name, address and medical information.
2. high profile. very easy targets for feds.

stuff like this don't help.

Disappointed. In Nevada, with our new dispensary law, not only did the dispensary owners, local jurisdictions, and the State figure out how to make money, but law enforcement found a way to make money off the backs of the sick, disabled, and dying too. Everyone benefits except for the actual patient. Should change the state's motto from Battle Born, which the state actually wasn't, to Screw the Sick!!

The Massachusetts law blows dead dogs! Does that answer your question.

Don't buy Progressive Insurance - The Lewis family (Peter Lewis) is the one who took the right to grow out of the Massachusetts law. Pray that he doesn't come to your state with a referendum.

He is also the one who paid for the shit-ass Washington state "legalization" farce of a law.

Fortunately for medical patients in CT, MA, and NH, they can go to RI or Maine and buy medicine from their caregivers for reasonable prices. RI and Maine have reciprocity.

Yeah that all sucks but the silver lining is the technicality of having medical marijuana and decriminalization in your state makes progress for the whole country in the long run even if the law is flawed right now. I think we're very close to or right at 25 states (half the country) with positive marijuana legislation now! Once we get to about 3/4th the country, and every state looks on with envious eyes at everyone else making money, I think the feds will eventually legalize it.

As I said it sucks, but don't forget that. It's sort of the only thing us South Easterners have to hold on to! When the whole country unites on this and federal legalization happens, that is when the policy itself can truly become fair as marijuana is normalized in society.

Man as a Virginian I think all the time how different things might be if they had just worded the medical marijuana law of the 70s right so that we could actually have had dispensaries and whatnot way before California... Not only would the east coast be booming just as hard as Cali but perhaps the whole country would of been legalized by now...

The decrim in Mass. is a good law. It was put onto the ballot by George Soros. It wiped out 8,000 arrests per year.

The medical law is only going to help a few people per year, and only after they've paid lots of money to state bureaucracies. Very few people are going to sign up. Since decrim passed, cannabis is extremely available and easy to find for the vast majority of people.

Every time the DEA tried to arrest a state law-abiding Medical Marijuana patient in California and charge them, the Medical Marijuana patient was exempt from a charge. This proves DEA is arresting people without legally being able to charge them with a crime. Example. The Supreme Court of California ruling, Jan21st, 2010, The People Vs. Kelly..

Kelly won.. The limit of 6 plants is illegal as it conflicts with constitutional Health and Safety code 11362.77. Medical Marijuana patients ARE EXEMPT of legal charges if they grow for personal usage. Technically, it is illegal for armed agents to raid an American citizen for charges against medical marijuana. (so long as they are not selling the marijuana).

DEA/county officers needs to prove Marijuana is being sold, they can not legally raid a home and point guns at law abiding citizens if no law is being broken. If they do, they are breaking the law and committing crimes such as, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, kidnapping, illegal detention, ect. Regarding recent cases, example, DEA left an innocent college kid in an interrogation room to die, this proves they are wreckless in nature and illegal. More lawsuits should come down on the DEA and force their doors to close.
