Michiganders unite

[Biggins]

With less than a month till Michigan becomes the first state in the midwest to pass a medical marijuana law, I just figured we need to get a head start on discussing, helping each other, and shit!

Any other Michiganders ready for the long awaited day?

I'm still trying to find information on what it means now that the law has passed. When does it go into effect? Many other questions.

BTW- Happy to know it won in every single county.

This is where you need to go.
Michigan Medical Marijuana Patients
I am going to a Oakland County, MI NORML meeting on Thursday and will relay any info I learn.

Yesterday I heard from an unreliable source, law is going to be; a doctor can only have 5 marijuana medical patients, for 9 diseases. Hopefully this isnt true.

dude don't post information that you "heard"...who do you know personally that would know something like that?
exactly

The link post above is all us Michiganders need to follow the progress of the law. You can always go to the NORML website as well

Not some person saying they "heard" something...this isn't high school...

Hopefully there will be dispensaries.

The MMMA will be hosting a meet & greet after the Jan 5 public hearing. Please join us. Details TBA.


A tip of the toque to webmaster Brad who was able to get our website launched this week. We're still working out the last few bugs to meet our official launch date of Dec 15. But we're open now for pre-view. Many of the e-mail lists and member registrations were lost in the migration. Any mail sent to [email protected] in the last 48 hours has been lost in cyber space. Please re-send if you did not receive a reply to any messages sent recently. Members will have to re-register to participate in the forum at our new website. Our apologies for the inconvenience.


The proposed Administrative Rules for the Michigan Medical Marijuana program are now available for public review and comment: SOAHR Rules

Several of the proposed rules are problematic. Please consider submitting written comments and attending the public hearing, Jan 5, 2009. I have attached a tip sheet to help frame written comments. We're asking members to cc us copies of their written comments so that we can compile them into one document to be presented at the Jan 5 hearing.

Written comments may be sent to: Department of Community Health Bureau of Health Professions Lansing, MI 48909-8170 Attention: Desmond Mitchell, Departmental Analyst E-mail address: [email protected]



The public hearing will be: Monday, January 5, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. at the State Secondary Complex, General Office Building, 7150 Harris Drive, Conference Room A, Lansing, Michigan.



The MMMA is organizing a meet & greet for after the public hearing. Details TBA soon. We'll congregate at a friendly locale in the Lansing areaâ??with food service of courseâ??where we can have a chance to network and get to know each other. I am also inviting organizers of various groups to give short presentations. Come and meet your fellow MMMA members, meet representatives of the various groups and help us build our community. Our strength is in our unity.


If you would like to organize an event in your community to inform about the new Michigan Medical Marijuana program, let me know at [email protected]. We have members all across the state ready to speak at your event. And speaking of which, I had a request today for a speaker to address an AP high school class at a private school in Dearborn about medical marijuana. Any volunteers in the Dearborn area able to help out? Time/date flexible.

Excellent. Thanks you for the thorough reply. I will see what I can do about making that meeting.

Im wondering how this will work for the upper peninsula of mich. Also, Im wonderng if I will somehow be able to get a card if im not terminaly ill and just in need of relaxation medication

[sfxer02]

Well if you go to that website you will see what conditions are covered....I am pretty sure you won't get a MMJ card just for relaxation...you have to have a terminally ill disease or have some tyoe of chronic disease that causes chronic pain...
