RAND RAPIDS (AP) â?? A court hearing to determine whether Michigan authorities must turn over medical-marijuana records to federal investigators probably won't last long, though it will come another day , as today's hearing adjourned.

The state attorney general's office says it's willing to comply with a subpoena from federal investigators. It simply wants a court order.

In Grand Rapids, U.S. Magistrate Judge Hugh Brenneman Jr. is scheduled to hold a hearing Wednesday on the federal government's request for information on seven people with medical marijuana or marijuana caregiver cards.

The Drug Enforcement Administration won't talk about the Lansing-area probe but says it's not cracking down on medical marijuana users. The agency says it pursues large-scale drug traffickers.

More than 45,000 people in Michigan are registered to use marijuana to ease the symptoms of cancer and other health problems.

HOW DO LARGE SCALE DRUG TRAFFICKERS GET MMJ CERTIFIED MEDICAL CARDS FOR SMALL SCALE GROWING RIGHTS FOR SMALL AMOUNTS AUTHORIZED BY LAW.

YOU DON'T... THE DEA JUST ARRESTS THE TRAFFICKERS, NOT GO AFTER MEDICAL RECORDS... ONCE THAT DOOR IS OPENED..THEY ALL OPEN.

OUR LEGISLATORS, OUR STAND-UP MMJ COMMUNITY ADVOCATE ALLISON HOLCOLM AND ANYONE BACKING THIS CARD SYSTEM IS WAY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY.
