MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW RENDERED USELESS

I hope state Attorney General Bill Schuette is happy. With Wednesday's
Michigan Court of Appeals ruling, it now is illegal to dispense
medical cannabis in compassion centers and dispensaries in Michigan.
The appeals court ruled the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008
does not give clearance for the sale of marijuana -- even among
medical marijuana cardholders.

It is a travesty that Schuette and multiple county prosecutors and law
enforcement agencies throughout the state have joined together for
what they believe is a fight for our security and protection. They
think the act should never have been enacted, and they are doing
whatever they can to stop sick people from getting the help they need.

The three-judge panel's recent decision to ban the sale and dispensing
of cannabis probably has Schuette licking his chops. I hope he doesn't
get too excited, though. We, the people, will not go down easily...

I find it ridiculous that just when we gain some ground in the fight
for liberty, public officials come and snatch our freedoms away.
Whether you are a patient with a debilitating illness or just a
concerned, freedom-loving citizen, please consider attending the Sept.
7 MMMA patient rally at the state Capitol in Lansing and show your
support for liberty.

If that is not possible, email, snail-mail or call the attorney
general's office to let Bill Schuette know his employer -- the
electorate -- won't stand for this act of tyranny.
