Michigan Goes To Pot
That’s why Michigan medical professionals, law enforcement officials and parents and taxpayers are uniting to say “No” to Proposal 1.
Doctors and hospitals warn…
…that Proposal 1 allows the so-called “medical” use of marijuana without requiring a prescription from a doctor.
…that a flaw in Proposal 1 might lead to a flood of lawsuits over things such as whether doctors and hospitals must allow patients to smoke marijuana in a doctor’s office or hospital room, despite every other law banning smoking.Law enforcement officials warn…
…that Proposal 1 could lead to a dangerous increase in the number of people driving under the influence of marijuana.
…that a deliberate loophole in Proposal 1 allows anyone arrested on any offense involving marijuana to offer a “medical” defense in court.Worried parents warn…
…that when a similar law passed in California, hundreds of marijuana smoking clubs opened in neighborhood strip malls all over the state, and there are now more marijuana clubs in one metropolitan area of the state than there are Starbucks coffee shops.
Taxpayers warn…
…that the language of the proposal requires a costly new Lansing bureaucracy to license marijuana users, and will result in vast new regulatory expenses – all coming at a time when the economy is on the rocks, the budget is in the red and taxes are going up.

Hey thanks for the comment. I'm feeling better now but my teeth really hurt at the front where they hit the floor, so eating is not fun.

have step brother that smokes since he broke his back and got stuck in a chair. That was over 20yrs ago. I think by smoking it makes it easier for him to get by instead of all the drugs the Md's gave him. It also makes him eat. So I am all for legalizing pot.
