Michigan Bill Aims To Ban Medical Marijuana Clubs

[MedicalNeed]

LANSING – Legislation headed for the Michigan House seeks to ban marijuana clubs that have opened since voters approved use of the drug for medical purposes in 2008.

Republican Rep. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge said today he is introducing legislation to ban the clubs because marijuana users shouldn't be encouraged to drive. Jones said it's a safety risk, and people authorized to use marijuana should do so at home.

Marijuana club owners said there's nothing prohibiting them from operating, and they provide an important service. There are pending court cases involving some club owners that could set precedents for how they're allowed to operate.

The House bill would punish violators with up to 90 days in jail.

Really this dumb ass has nothing else to do who has ever even heard of this idiot. He's worried about people not so worried that he cares about wasting my tax money on something most everyone wants. HOW ABOUT YOU GO DO YOUR JOB and MAKE SOME JOBS Republicans Cannabis Clubs provide jobs and needed medicine which is more than you have done WOW not one good idea but they dam sure know what they don't like. Worried about people smoking pot and driving as they take money from big alcohol companies lobbyists. Sorry to disappoint you but YOU ARE Not going to win this one 14 states have MMJ and more to come we will not move backwards think about that also prop 19 is looking good so What Are You Gonna Do When Prohibition ends for you!
