What the "fuck" am I supposed to give you?
I've been an activist on this issue sense it began well over a year ago!!!!!!
I testified at hearings on the new bills and heard what they actually mean as far as what the state can apply legally with the wording!
I've given you actual legal (by lawyers) interpretation of the law!
I've spelled it out in several ways!
I've supplied the left handed evidence of legal side stepping of the patient act!
I've listed ways to find out more in news reports!
I've almost held your damn hand and walked you through it!
You're too busy with denial to actually SEE what the state is doing!
I understand there are going to those who will never "get it" and blindly trust the government to do whats right!
So then, keep your head in the sand and let the state government keep blowing sand up your ass!

It takes a 75% majority to alter the mmma and the only Bill passed that does that is 4210

Tell you what. I just emailed a legal advisor to the anti bill team that testified last year.
I asked for clarification on the new wording and it's possible affect on patients and caregiver growing!
I REALLY hope I'm wrong and your right!
I'll line right up for you all to give me a swift kick!
I still say it's a BAD bill for MI either way, and it needs to NOT pass!
So drop lines to the House reps and the Gov anyway!

I agree, even if the people get to grow medical this still looks bad for the citizens. The government is trying to force people onto a market they are profiting from by threatening a large part of the public with felonies for not buying from their dealers.

@Michiganmeds1982
I got an answer back that he has on his web page:
This legislation is dense and lengthy. There will be an extensive regulatory system implemented (similar to the regulations on alcohol). Many of the terms and conditions have not even been written yet, as that job will fall on a newly created medical marijuana board. Right now, there are many more questions than answers. However, we have spent a significant amount of time reading the fine print and are ready to give you preliminary advice on questions related to the new medical marijuana legislation. Once these bills become law and rules and regulations are issued, we will be prepared to help you through the lengthy application process of setting up your grow facility, dispensary, or processing center.
He said he would get back to me later as it's been changed.
IT'S already ON the way to the Gov's desk!
House passed it last YEAR and the Senate passed it quietly yesterday! It's on the way to the Gov's desk and He says that Snyder is now in favor and will most likely sign it. The real details are to be written later - These are the one's that will give us butt hurt!

Care Givers will still be able to grow for patients.....because they in fact ARE patients.....
There are no details saying anything at all in any of the bills they passed that remove caregivers from growing.
I have read ALL the fine print on ALL the Bills.
The only people who are being controlled are those people who will be involved in the production, transportation, inspection, and selling of Medical cannabis through dispensaries.
The Key thing here is SELLING and TAXES this is what they want to control most.
Any Cannabis SOLD for Profit.
They have added Infused Cannabis products to the MMMA and set guidelines to control it.
Other than that Nothing was changed to limit Care Givers or Patients from what they have been doing under the MMMA.
The entire Caregiver/Patient system is still the way it was this new act for Dispensaries cannot change it.

Here are the words that actually effect the MMMA act with an amendment passed Sept 8-14th, 2016.
Everything else in the MMMA acts stands as it was.
Legislative Analysis House Fiscal Agency
Phone: (517) 373-8080 http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa Analysis available at http://www.legislature.mi.gov MARIHUANA-INFUSED PRODUCTS House Bill 4210 (Substitute H-1, as proposed) Sponsor: Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons Committee: Judiciary Complete to 9-21-15 SUMMARY: The bill would, among other things:
Revise the definitions of "medical use" and "usable marihuana" to include products using extracts and plant resins (known as "edibles").
Define "marihuana-infused product" and "usable marihuana equivalent".
Provide immunity to a qualified patient or caregiver from arrest or prosecution or penalty for certain conduct.
Prohibit transporting or possessing a marihuana-infused product in a vehicle except as specified. Create a misdemeanor penalty for a violation.
Prohibit using butane to separate resin from a marihuana plant on residential property.
Specify the bill is curative and the provisions retroactive.
(What the amendment does)
House Bill 4210 would amend the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA) to do the following: Goal of act and retroactivity The bill specifies that it clarifies ambiguities in the law in accordance with the original intent of the people, as expressed in Section 2(b) of the MMMA. Further, the bill states that it is curative and applies retroactively as to the following:
Clarifying the quantities and forms of marihuana for which a person is protected from arrest.
Precluding an interpretation of "weight" as aggregate weight.
Excluding an added inactive substrate component of a preparation in determining the amount of marihuana, medical marihuana, or usable marihuana that constitutes an offense.
( Definitions to include infused products )
Change the term "medical use" to "medical use of marihuana" and revise the definition to include the extraction of marihuana and marihuana-infused products.
Revise the definition of "usable marihuana" to include, in addition to dried leaves and flowers, the plant resin or extract of the marihuana plant. (The term does not include the seeds, stalks, or roots of the plant.) House Fiscal Agency HB 4210 (H-1)
Define "marihuana-infused product" to mean a topical formulation, tincture, beverage, edible substance, or similar product containing any usable marihuana that is intended for human consumption in a manner other than smoke inhalation. Marihuana-infused products would not be considered a food for purposes of the Food Law.
( New definitions of usable amount to include infused products )
Define "usable marihuana equivalent" as the amount of usable marihuana in a marihuana-infused product. To determine usable marihuana equivalency, the bill would specify that one ounce of usable marihuana would be considered equivalent to
(a) 16 ounces of marihuana-infused product if in a solid form;
(b) 7 grams if in a gaseous form; and
(c) 72 fluid ounces if in a liquid form. In determining whether a patient or primary caregiver did not exceed the 2.5 ounces-per-patient possession limit, the combined total of both usable marijuana equivalents and usable marihuana would have to be considered. Marihuana-infused product A registered qualifying patient who was manufacturing a marihuana-infused product for personal use, or a registered primary caregiver manufacturing for the use of his or her qualifying patient, would not be subject to arrest, prosecution, or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, including, but not limited to, civil penalty or disciplinary action by a business or occupational or professional licensing board or bureau.
(the new language regarding adding infused products )
The following would be prohibited:
A qualifying patient transferring a marihuana-infused product to any individual.
A primary caregiver transferring a marihuana-infused product to any individual who is not one of the caregiver's qualifying patients.
(Immunity) If the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (House Bill 4209) is enacted into law, a registered qualifying patient or registered primary caregiver would not be subject to arrest, prosecution or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, including but not limited to, civil penalty or disciplinary action by a business or occupational or professional licensing board or bureau, for any of the following:
Transferring or purchasing marihuana in an amount authorized by the MMMA.
Transferring or selling marihuana seeds or seedlings to a grower licensed under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (House Bill 4209).
Transferring marihuana for testing to and from a safety compliance facility licensed under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act.
( new rules for Infused product transportation )
Transporting or possessing marihuana-infused product in a motor vehicle A qualifying patient or primary caregiver would be prohibited from transporting or possessing a marihuana-infused product in or upon a motor vehicle except as follows:
For a qualifying patient:
o The product is in a sealed and labeled package carried in the trunk of the vehicle (if there is no trunk, carried so as not to be readily accessible from the interior of the vehicle). House Fiscal Agency HB 4210 (H-1)
o The label must state the weight of the marihuana-infused product in ounces, name of the manufacturer, date of manufacture, name of the person from whom the product was received, and date of receipt.
For a primary caregiver:
o The product is accompanied by an accurate marihuana transportation manifest and enclosed in a case carried in the trunk of the vehicle (if no trunk, enclosed in a case and carried so as not to be readily accessible from the interior of the vehicle).
o The manifest form must state the weight of each marihuana-infused product in ounces, name and address of the manufacturer, date of manufacture, destination name and address, date and time of departure, estimated date and time of arrival, and, if applicable, name and address of the person from whom the product was received and date of receipt.
The bill would not prohibit a caregiver from transporting or possessing a marihuanainfused product in or upon a motor vehicle for the use of his or her own child, spouse, or parent who is a qualified patient if the marihuana-infused product is in a sealed and labeled package that is carried in the trunk of the vehicle (or carried so as not to be readily accessible from the interior of the vehicle if it does not have a trunk). The label must state the weight of the product in ounces, name of the manufacturer, date of manufacture, name of the qualifying patient, and if applicable, name of the person from whom the marihuanainfused product was received and date of receipt.
( new penalties regarding Infused products )
For purposes of determining compliance with quantity limitations, there is a rebuttable presumption that the weight of a marihuana-infused product listed on its package label or on a marihuana transportation manifest is accurate. A violation by a patient or caregiver would be a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days and/or a fine of not more than $500.
Miscellaneous provisions The bill also would:
Prohibit using butane extraction on residential property to separate plant resin from a marihuana plant.
Replace the term "use of medical marihuana" with "medical use of marihuana."
Require LARA to expend money from the Michigan Medical Marihuana Fund for the creation and maintenance of the system required under the Marihuana Tracking Act. Currently, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs is required to expend money, upon legislative appropriation, from the fund for the operation and oversight of the Michigan medical marihuana program. The bill would take effect 90 days after enactment. MCL 333.26423 et al. House Fiscal Agency HB 4210 (H-1)
FISCAL IMPACT: House Bill 4210 would authorize the expenditure of money from the Michigan Medical Marihuana Fund (MMMF) for the creation and maintenance of the marihuana tracking information technology system (System) required under House Bill 4827. Under current law, LARA administers the MMMF, into which revenue generated by fees collected from applicants for medical marihuana registry identification cards are deposited and from which expenditures for the operation and oversight of the Michigan Medical Marihuana Program, including grants to county sheriffs' offices, are made. The costs of developing, operating, and maintaining the System is dependent on the technical specifications and applications of the System; whether the System is provided by the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) or procured via contact a third-party vendor (e.g. Bio-Tech Medical Software, Inc., MJ Freeway Business Solutions, Franwell); and, if the latter, on the outcome of a competitive RFP process. The MMMF has historically received revenue in excess of expenditures, and the balance within the MMMF was $26.4 million at the date this document was drafted; however, recent revisions to fee amounts and additional appropriations for grants to county sheriffs' offices will likely reduce the balance in future years. The bill creates a new misdemeanor. Misdemeanor convictions would increase costs related to county jails and/or local misdemeanor probation supervision. The costs of local incarceration in a county jail and local misdemeanor probation supervision vary by jurisdiction. Misdemeanor fines are constitutionally dedicated to public libraries.
Everything else in the MMMA acts stands as it was.

While we may see things differently. The real test is in what a lawyer who works with the MMMA says about the law and it's meaning!
The tracking act had all of our lawyers a little jumpy a year ago. Lets see what one of them say now....

It could very well be!
You just don't seem to want to understand that tracking act loophole! This is one of the biggest issue's we had last year!
And the lawyer I emailed did say "There will be an extensive regulatory system implemented (similar to the regulations on alcohol). Many of the terms and conditions have not even been written yet, as that job will fall on a newly created medical marijuana board. Right now, there are many more questions than answers."
WE'LL see what he says now...... I'm still very worried about legally growing at home in any form! The sneaky wording needs translation. You can stand on your "they won't/can't take it away" ideals if you like.
They changed the laws as they saw fit before! They can change what they like by these amendments to the law anytime! In fact, they can put in any amendment THEY want by voting it in! THEY CAN say "No more personal growing" ! Then tack on an appropriation to the bill and WE won't even be able to repeal that by a vote!
Sate law! Look it up!!
The question not yet legally answered IS that caregiver and personal growing issue!
To think that the state lawmakers HAVE to honor the "law" we voted in and NOT change even the basic meaning is ignorant!
The state MM board can have LARA change the card as they see fit. That brings up the question of "Hows this tracking act going to change the way law enforcement can see details of your license?" Right now, they can only be told by LARA if the card is valid and be told if any notice on the back is still in effect (caregiver or not). So it's (LARA) basically going to have to now tackle this "tracking" issue and the record WILL include any and all sales TO you. They want it so at the point of purchase, you can be blocked from buying more then the yet to be defined "limit" is! Daily? Weekly? We'll have to see on that yet too! This point can also possibly affect the limits now in place for either personal or caregiver possession!
They simply have to write all this yet! So far, some of what we know they are going to write is very scary FOR personal growing and caregiver grows!

I think a huge point is that you guys are looking at the bills FRAMEWORK!
This is NOT the WHOLE THING! And if it pass's.....The bill, the amendments, and acts it creates will be DEFINED and written out over the year it will have before it takes actual effect!
WE, in fact, will have NO say in how they define the law IN writing!
