I really think there should be a campaign to criminalize alcohol and tobacco. Fuck it.

That's the attitude that put us in this place in the first place. Pot is as good as still illegal and not accepted in popular society or at least with the part that gets to make decisions like these. Your example has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I was talking about signs that are openly good for spotting a place if your looking for it. Those signs aren't advertising and pushing products like alcohol adds do they are just simply making sure there business is visible for the people who need there services but if you didn't know what the place was you wouldn't realize it by just seeing there sign. You have to stop being so god damn selfish and realize there are other people who did not sign up to have the pot culture in their lives. We have a right to live the life WE want that doesn't just mean you yourself and you. Just because you feel shafted for getting bombarded with advertisements doesn't mean that eye for an eye is the answer.

Well just because your sick of it doesn't mean that reality can just stop and you can remove yourself from the framework we all are in. Just because it's not fair doesn't mean it should be ignored. That's all I hear all day is how unfair it is. Well then do something about it instead of just focusing on all of the negative things about how it's going to be taken away. It's not proactive, a change needs to come about in the community but the feeling is poor me it's not fair blah blah blah maybe if some people could act in a way that takes others into account maybe we would actually get somewhere. Fucking golden ticket syndrome.
Unfortunately at this point in time weed is like driving it is a privilege not a right.
Maybe if we can get some accountability in the community we can change that.

Not at all. I've been urging people to go the the Sept7 rally for weeks now.
I think it's fucking stupid to argue that dispensaries shouldn't have pot leaf signs in the window. Who cares if people don't like it. It's legal for medicinal use. It doesn't have to be a secret. I'm saying there's people that don't like alcohol advertisements but they are everwhere. Just saw one on the weather channel even. Fuck the people complaining about it right? HYPOCRITES, the masses.
Ozzrock, I'll be there.

If we want to get anything else passed on the legal level to protect us we need the majority of the state to agree with us and you need to realize your audience. You have already they are hypocrites and are uneducated about this topic so when they see a pot leaf in the window we lose one more vote because it's a public nuisance. You have to work within the system to change it and that is our audience. A marketing firm doesn't look at their target demographic and then say no fuck that were just going to do what we want to advertise and maybe they will buy our product cause we know better. You wouldn't sell nearly as many products as when you actually advertise about what your audience wants you have to make it appeal to them. So why just piss off the people who are doing us wrong just for them to get even more pissed off. you have to talk their language and make them feel comfortable so that not just the med community if fighting for it self but a majority of the state. Just because this law passed in the first place doesn't mean we still have the majority or any power to win against our enemies.

"A three-judge panel said the 2008 medical marijuana law, as well as the state's public health code, does not allow people to sell pot to each other, even if they have state-issued marijuana cards."
No I do not go to dispensaries, I grow my own. My point was that the courts ruling contradicts what the law says. Even if the law says caregivers can exchange MMJ for money to their patients, according to this ruling, that's illegal.
I'm inclined to stick with the original law personally. These judges should have specified their statement better instead of lumping every sale of marijuana into the same catagory, regardless if it's patient to patient, dispensary to patient, or whatever else you can think of.

Attorney General Bill Schuette said today hell send a letter to all 83 county prosecutors advising them how to use a Michigan Court of Appeals decision to shut down medical "pot shops."
Because it's binding on local courts, he says the ruling "clearly empowers them to file nuisance actions to seek the closure of medical marijuana dispensaries in their communities.
A three-judge panel today agreed with Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick that the Compassionate Apothecary in Mount Pleasant violated the 2008 voter-approved law authorizing the medical use of the drug.
Violations included allowing patient-to-patient sales, making a profit on those sales by charging a commission and the possession of marijuana in amounts that exceed limits in the law.

Schuette says the citizen-initiated Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, approved with 63 percent of the vote, neither legalizes marijuana nor authorizes dispensaries.
This ruling is a huge victory for public safety and Michigan communities struggling with an invasion of pot shops near their schools, homes and churches, Schuette said. Today the court echoed the concerns of law enforcement, clarifying that this law is narrowly focused to help the seriously ill, not the creation of a marijuana free-for-all.
The appeals court said dispensaries are a violation of the both the law and the public health code.
Defendants have no authority to actively engage in and carry out the selling of marijuana between members, the panel ruled, calling the operation a public nuisance.

The power of the people, lmao. Just goes to show you since the beginning the minority rules and what the people want don't mean shit.
How are chronically ill patients going to get meds. Where are the complaints coming from, I don't think there's that many citizens calling the police and politicians about dispensary activity or for a reform of the medical marijuana laws. They have just whipped it out and stuck it in with no vaseline. Imma throw this out there too, the end is near, this was just the beginning stay tuned in for the rest of their bullshit, this is truly a sad day even for the non smokers. You can't do shit anymore without it being called illegal.
