Voice: Bob Wood, Sanford

When 63 percent of Michigan voters passed the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act they did not intend for the state to carry out a campaign of terror that is currently being carried out against patients, caregivers and doctors that recommend medical marijuana.

Now, our courts have ruled it unlawful for patients to purchase their medicine in a safe manner at dispensaries, and have ruled it illegal to transfer it from patient to patient.

Instead of regulating dispensaries, our state legislators are proposing numerous bills making felony crimes directed toward patients, caregivers and doctors.

We need to ask ourselves if we would rather have the cartels control the market, or should the state control the sales in a legally regulated and taxed market.
