Michigan?

[kaka_]

Are there any dispensaries near the Midland/Saginaw area that I can go see a doctor, get a recommendation and buy from that day?

 

[TickleMyBalls]

You can't do that at any dispensary in the state period. No spot will admit you until at least 3 weeks after your check is cashed by the state for your card.

That is not true. I know of people that live out of state being told about a dispensary that does not check med cards/ID's before buying, this was about a year ago that someone I know from out of state went in there and bought a qtr oz. All he did was call make an appointment then when he got there he told them he was a member of the club and a patient, this place is still in business and probably one of the biggest in the state, because of location, right off 696 and 75. I do not go to dispensaries b/c of issues like these, too nervous that if shit hits the fan its an easy way to get busted for selling to them.

This same place is where I went the first time to get my certification from the doctor after talking to the doctor they gave me a free gram lol that day I was allowed to buy medication. That was back in 09 and they are still certifying patients and selling medication to patients. I go to a different doctors office now that does not sell medication.

I want to vendor to them but I think it would be very stupid considering I think they will get busted eventually, cant believe they have not yet.

Any one else nervous about selling to clubs? Anyone sell to clubs that have been around for a couple of years? How about the farmers market in Jackson?

I don't need these places but I'm interested in them

I guessing that means the market is still active? 12-4 Sat and Sun correct?

 

[dagnabit]

Yes and yes

 

[MIway]

Ekomsi- maybe a bit ago, but think they'v tightened up a bit... As most have. Shit, a spot just opened couple weeks in the d... Nother I kno is coming... Nother I kno is openin back up... Bring it. We need em.

 

[ekomsi]

yeah I know there are many around I jut wonder how safe they are to sell to? How do you go about a relationship with these clubs?

I dont really want them knowing my full name and address........

 

[MIway]

Yeah... Some do take u'r card info, and have u sign a waiver/agreement. Never ever heard of leo takin that info and goin after patients-cg's... Just haven't heard of it. They screw w them, not us. Haven't heard of a dip goin around and hittin cg's on the side either. Just don't see much of an issue... Afterall, already on the biggest list in the state anyway, so if they really want to come...? But jic, shouldn't have u'ir gvrow addy on either u'r card or u'r reg I'd, ya know?

One guy here was in a place w they got hit... Handcuffs and all. Let hium go, nothin has come fr it yet, or not that I'v heard. Smash and grabs, charges later to be filed. Suppose if ya did shit w em on the side they could try to change u up, but that's the risk we run anyway, even wo the dips.

As always, stay safe out there! ;-)

 

[PeopleWish]

I gotta say, I love how straight up Detroit style hood-rats are gaining a love for our hobby/industry.

Meeting guys who previously never saw life past a couple of blocks from their house travelling the planet in the quest for ganja and growing knowledge is awesome.

The education system may have failed them, but the love of this thing of ours enlightened them.

 

[pankynugga]

How friendly is the Cadillac area?

 

[pankynugga]

guess nobody has ever heard of it.......lol

 

[bigshrimp]

Idk about the med scene but cadilliac is not friendly. Generally known for its white supremicist movement, i would hide the dreads and wear a flannel.

 

[dagnabit]

Court Eviscerates Michigan’s Medical Marijuana Dispensary System

By Nicole Flatow on Feb 11, 2013 at 3:00 pm

Michigan’s highest court issued a decision Friday that will likely shutter most of the state’s medical marijuana dispensaries. In a 4-1 ruling, the Michigan Supreme Court held that transfers of marijuana between two authorized medical marijuana patients are not legal under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act.

To serve the state’s estimated 124,000 patients, businesses and not-for-profits have emerged that operate as “membership organizations” by facilitating the transfer of marijuana between various authorized patients and authorized caregivers. Members would rent lockers and set the price of their transaction with fellow members on their own. The court held that because patients cannot sell to one another, nor can designated “caregivers” sell to patients not their own, defendant Cannabis Collective is not immune from public nuisance actions:

In contrast to several other states’ medical marijuana provisions, the MMMA does not explicitly provide for businesses that dispense marijuana to patients. […]

Defendants transferred and delivered marijuana to patients by facilitating patient-to-patient sales; in doing so, they assisted those patients in acquiring marijuana. The transfer, delivery, and acquisition of marijuana are three activities that are part of the “medical use” of marijuana that the drafters of the MMMA chose not to include as protected activities within § 4(i). As a result, defendants’ actions were not in accordance with the MMMA under that provision.

In light of the court’s interpretation of the law, it appears the only ways in which a registered patient may obtain medical marijuana are by growing their own, or working with a caregiver, who is authorized to provide marijuana for up to five patients. According to Denise A. Pollicella, a Michigan lawyer specializing in marijuana law, some two-thirds of the state’s patients do not have an authorized caregiver. Pollicella points out that while medical marijuana dispensaries are able to operate economically to provide the range of options relevant to different types of patients, a caregiver who is providing marijuana to just five patients lacks the economies of scale to effectively serve patients.

Michigan’s law is not the only one that, while authorizing patients to legally possess and consumer marijuana, is hazy about how they can actually obtain that marijuana. In several states, including Washington and California, dispensaries have operated under a “collective gardens” provision in the laws that allows users to band together to produce and consume marijuana. Others, such as Colorado’s and Maine’s explicitly authorize dispensaries.

Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes has cited legal uncertainty about this collective gardens justification as one of the many reasons why law enforcers prefer Washington’s new medical marijuana legalization law, which clearly authorizes licensed dispensaries and producers.

In response to the ruling, State Rep. Mike Callton (R), said he would propose a bill to legalize dispensaries. He proposed a bill last year that never made it to the hearing stage. The legislature is already considering a bill to decriminalize marijuana. Just last week, reports showed that Michigan’s medical marijuana program netted state revenue of $6.3 million in application and renewal fees in the last fiscal year.
