1. Michigan Legislature Revisiting Medical Marijuana Laws
Since Michigan Medical Marihuana Act passed in 2008, the state legislature makes it difficult
for patients who depend on this treatment to obtain it. If legal roadblocks have affected you,
finding it impossible to legally access the medical marijuana that you need, a criminal defense
attorney is your best ally in navigating this process effectively.
After the original law passed in 2008,
dispensaries selling medibles increased
across the state of Michigan. However, in
2013 Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that
all forms of non-smokable marijuana is
illegal, leaving those who need and use
medical marijuana without many options.
Michigan is one of three of 23 states that
allow medical marijuana. For now the only
legal way for 100,000 state approved users
who need medicinal marijuana in Michigan
to obtain it is to grow their own or purchase
it from a designated caregiver. However,
designated caregivers are limited at this time to only having five patients.
Recently, the Michigan House Judiciary Committee began new hearings regarding two medical
marijuana bills. The new laws, if passed, will be looking to make both dispensaries and medibles
legal possibilities to those who need them in Michigan. These two bills passed last year in the
House, but were intentionally held up in the Senate. The opposition claims that users of medical
marijuana are just looking to get high and having dispensaries is just legalizing the drug.
