Sell of medical marijuana has been prohibited to private sellers in Michigan

Private shops cannot sell medical marijuana. The 2008 medical marijuana law, as well as the state's public health code, dose not allow people to sell pot to anyone. There are 200 - 300 business that will be affected by this decision. This public safety victory will help stop the proliferation of pot shops near to Michigan communities schools.

The city of Seattle has decide to take the leap of the faith to embrace the medical marijuana industry. The new regulations are expected to be implemented swiftly.

It's great to see proper drug regulations embraced by the city of Seattle!

wrote:

The city of Seattle plans to start taxing and licensing medical marijuana operations like any other business, in response to changes in state law that have left the industry in a legal morass.

The Seattle City Council unanimously passed rules Monday requiring that medical marijuana operations be licensed, obtain food-handling permits if they sell marijuana-infused cookies or other items, and follow all other regulations such as land use and historic preservation codes. The approach is the opposite of what several other local cities have done - imposing moratoriums on such operations.

"The upshot is they are here and we should regulate them," said Councilwoman Sally Clark.

A spokesman for Mayor Mike McGinn said he expects to sign the measure quickly.

Racists Cured of their Hate With Marijuana

Interesting story, sounds like a life changing experience.

The girls say it changed their lives. They now enjoy painting things that pot smokers love painting (astrological themed images, but soon it will undoubtedly be the Grateful Dead dancing bears, or lines that swirl and swirl and swirl) and plan on going to college, where their medical marijuana cards and kindly dispositions will likely win them many friends. After college, they plan on continuing to advocate for marijuana legalization in all 50 states, so we can all just toke together in harmony and hold hands and sing and star at the fabric on the arm of this couch I'm sitting on. I never really looked at it, you know.

The Beginning of Medical Marijuana Law in New Mexico

In New Mexico, the process of having marijuana be legally served to severely ill patients has been long and tough. On July of 2007, the “the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use” was officially signed to be a law. This Act was named after two women: Lynn Pierson and Erin Armstrong. Lynn was a 26-year old cancer patient back then in 1978. She advocated the medical use of marijuana before it was legislated by New Mexico. Erin was also a marijuana advocate who suffered with advanced thyroid cancer.

Right after the law became official, New Mexico became the 12^th state to legalize medical marijuana. Governor Bill Richardson,supporter of the law, had been really courageous and outspoken despite all the controversies that could have risen while running for presidency. It was supposed to be on October 1, 2007 when the state’s Department of Health should already have an outline of the regulations and parameters for the patients and providers to qualify. Yet, it took them until January of 2009 for them finish it.

The process for providers has been disappointing, frustrating and slow. With more than 540 patients approved at that time, there was only one provider. A provider is only permitted to grow 95 cannabis plants at a time which bring the patients into a state of scarcity. They have to compete over the limited amount of medical marijuana or find an illegal supplier.

The Biggest (300 Acres) Marijuana Plantation Ever In Mexico!

Check out the setup at this place! Over 300 acres of cover cannabis. This place must have stunk for miles. the military claims they could smell it because the tarp. The tarp wasn't suspicious either because many farmers use this to protect their crops from the sun. It is really a remarkable operation.

Hopefully our governments will realized that our current drug policy is only perpetuating this type of industry south of the border. Once Obama and the DEA decide to get on board with Proper Cannabis regulations hopefully all of this criminal nonsense will come to a grinding halt.

Mexican soldiers found the largest marijuana plantation ever detected in Mexico, a huge field covering almost 300 acres (120 hectares), according to the Defence Department.
The plantation is four times larger than the previous record discovery by authorities at a ranch in northern Chihuahua state in 1984.
