它可能好是住的那在密执安

第一次，密执安安置一个片断 关于选票的医疗大麻立法.
这 可能 是巨大的。 一个蓝色状态为早先四次竞选，我认为其中一这移动大惊奇必须是为什么它那么很多时间花费了。 或许它的考虑作为一个传统被重视的，中西部的状态也许对延迟贡献了。 不管怎么样，事实这样状态在选票可能投入这样提议，在认为表明正面转移为好中横跨中心区域。
年奖的最苛刻的处罚
2006年12月8日 亚历克斯
卡门Granata，一个23岁密执安当地人，喜欢集会。 在Eastpointe，她拥有一个房子，卡门被决定有BBQ和邀请朋友。 我以前有大量BBQ'S，并且，当多数人知道，一些轻松，并且一些可能时常得到一点粗暴。 卡门的确定地是2个二个选择。
邻居在她告诉了警察 二次 在12AM和1AM之间。 在紧挨4AM，其中一个卡门的朋友在她的门廊之外在cellphone去谈话。 警察告诉了第3次，并且给了卡门一张票为违犯城市的噪声法令。
这是它转动古怪的地方-认为她会得到一笔简单的罚款，卡门承认有罪在噪声侵害。 Biiiig差错。 法官Norene Redmond给了她 30天在监狱 为违背。 它结果邻居签署了请愿说她的房子是频繁党站点，并且这沉重摇摆了法官。
惊奇地，她的处罚没有停止那里。 卡门被判了刑 2年 药物测试 在每个月任意日期的。 然后，递了她另 2年 价值试用与 每日呼气测醉试验 为酒精。
我从未听说或闻悉对什么的这样一项可怕地地方处罚是相对地较小违背。 我可以了解邻居失望，但投入一个23岁女孩关在监牢里30天？ 那是公正冷的。
卡门的家庭雇用一位律师得到犯罪申诉被投掷在法院，一有希望地撤销外面句子被递对她。 为了她的缘故，我们希望它运作。

強制证词在医药大麻
December 1st, 2006 by AlexIf anyone has watched the Penn & Teller: War on Drugs episode, you’ll recognize this man. His name is Ervin Rosenfeld and he is 1 of 5 people alive today who is on the federal medical marijuana program.
He suffers from a debilitating disease that causes “bone tumors to grow outwardly all throughout his body.” In this video, Ervin makes an impassioned speech to the Michigan courts for the legalization of marijuana.
Now, I’m not going to sit here and recap the entire video, but here are a few eyebrow-raising points:
- Ervin smokes 11 ounces of marijuana every 25 days
- Ervin’s marijuana is grown on the University of Mississippi campus
- The DEA conducted a 2 year study of herb and it was found to be one of the most benign substances known to man
- In a 10 year study, not one single case of lung cancer developed as a result of using marijuana
- Jail overcrowding has placed non-violent drug offenders behind bars while violent prisoners are let out early
- There isn’t a single death recorded in the history of mankind that is directly the related to an overdose on marijuana. How many substances can say that?
All in all, this is some damn powerful stuff and definitely worth nine minutes of your day.

Michigan Legalization Movement for 2008
November 29th, 2006 by Alex
The measure, which aims to be placed on the 2008 Michigan ballot, would allow a resident to use weed for medical or recreational uses. The recreational use would have to take place on private property and only be allowed for those 18 and older. Smoking in public places is still liable to a civil infraction of up to a $50 fine.
The measure needs to gather 304,000 signatures within a 6 month period. A slightly different measure attempted to get on the 2006 ballot, but did not have all the signatures required. Let’s hope that with a fresh start, and some nice legal momentum, this new measure will grab enough of a foothold to be put up for vote.
