so you are just trolling to amuse yourself at this point? At no point did I say anything about not being able to afford it, this whole post is about michigan closing the places I get it from. But you know that already.

Interesting times, as marijuana is starting its process towards full legalization up here in Canada, the American boarder guards are cracking down on Canadian travelers who admit to having smoked pot in the past.

Or at least that is what CBC radio was claiming.

A buddy of mine used to smoke on his front porch. One day he noticed a little baby pot plant growing between his bushes. He said it must have grown from the seeds in his joint. Bullshit? It's possible he was high as fuck and it was just a dandelion.

it is possible, we had a sunflower grow this year from a seed that the birds spilled from the bird feeder. Weed is easy to grow as long as you follow the basics.

FRAT:michigan just decided they are doing a new licensing system and that all current dispensaries must close by december 15th and apply for a licence that will be issued some time in the first quarter of next year. So there were be a gap of 1-4 months where no dispensaries will be open.







Existing medical marijuana dispensaries could be in danger of being shuttered by law enforcement if they stay open past mid-December, according to Andrew Brisbo, a top state marijuana regulator.

“The (Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) will not shut down facilities,” Brisbo said Tuesday. But dispensaries that continue distributing medical marijuana to patients after the state begins accepting applications for dispensaries to get state licenses on Dec. 15 risk being closed by law enforcement, he added.

Brisbo said the department has and will not ask law enforcement to close such dispensaries, however. That would be at the sole discretion of law enforcement.

Brisbo’s comments came during the state’s third Medical Marihuana Licensing Board meeting Tuesday and just hours after LARA issued a statement that appeared to put pot shops on notice for potential closure, considering them “a potential impediment to licensure” if they stay open after Dec. 15.

Tuesday’s meeting was marked by confusion and internal disagreement within the board and worry from patients who feared they wouldn’t be able to find medicine.

Board members were torn about how to address the issue before ultimately deciding to leave LARA’s announcement unchallenged. They also attempted to clarify with Brisbo the extent of the board’s authority and clear up confusion about the legal process for crafting new rules.

Donald Bailey – who originally made the motion to shut down current dispensaries in late August – said Tuesday he is trying to combat a marijuana black market.

“We don’t want to see these dispensaries … making these things and putting it into Michigan’s own black market,” said Bailey, who is a retired State Police sergeant who used to work in drug enforcement.

Bailey questioned whether LARA was being tough enough on dispensaries that he says have operated illegally since 2008, when voters legalized marijuana for medical use in a statewide referendum.

“The law is pretty clear,” Bailey said. “I apologize to those who don’t understand where I’m coming from, but I cannot be moved and I won’t be. This is a violation.”

Others on the board, such as Nichole Cover and chairman Rick Johnson, seemed to push back against that sentiment.

“We are not enforcers; we are not regulators,” Cover said. “We’re all trying to navigate the lay of the land.”

Johnson withdrew his initial support for Bailey’s motion to shutter dispensaries after LARA clarified that it’s not within the board’s authority or role to do so – that’s up to law enforcement.

But LARA will still issue emergency rules to render dispensaries operating without a license “a potential impediment” to its license plan. It consulted with Attorney General Bill Schuette’s office to determine that it could do so, according to the department.



That could mean that dispensaries that refuse to close by Dec. 15 might have a harder time getting an official license from the state to operate once they are issued.

The mid-December date “will allow existing operations to wind down while also giving adequate time for patients to establish connections to caregivers to help ensure continuity of access,” according a state press release.

LARA sent the release just hours before the scheduled board meeting, during which officials tried to clarify whether pot shops would be shuttered, or which state entity had the authority to enact closures if they happen.

Any “regulatory action” to close dispensaries would require an administrative rule, which LARA could enact on an “emergency” basis as it seeks to set up a permanent regulatory structure for Michigan’s medical marijuana businesses. Enforcing that would be up to police.

Application fees for dispensaries could cost between $4,000 and $8,000, “depending on the number of applications received,” according to LARA.

People again expressed concern that they wouldn’t be able to find medical marijuana if dispensaries are shut down for a time while the state issues licenses.

Many expressed frustration with Bailey, who many seem to view as adversarial to medical pot. Others attempted to justify the need for such medicine and how it helped them.

Detroit has eight city-approved medical marijuana dispensaries and another 69 pending approval from the city but still operating. Another 81 applications are pending in addition to those, according to a city database.

Be happy they are still allowing private dispensaries to apply for licences
We just got fucked hard in Ontario
They are shutting down all dispensary and the government is taking a monopoly in the marijuana business, it's fucking insane

Medical still has to order online without seeing your medicine prior, or grow your own after aboht 6 months of health Canada trying as hard as they can to not allow you to grow

It is shipped on a mass scale
Currently the only legal way to get marijuana in Canada is to have it shipped to you

The Cincinnati Reds haven't had 3 players hit 100+ RBI in a season since 1955. Those players were Ted Kluszewski, Wally Post and Gus Bell.

With the likes of Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, George Foster, Ken Griffey and Pete Rose - most people are very surprised it didnt happen in the mid-70s.
