Michigan Opens First MMJ Clinic
December 5th, 2008 by Perry
Less than a month after Michigan approved MMJ, a clinic is already open in metropolitan Detroit.
The clinic will issue temporary identification cards until the state’s card program takes effect in April. Proposition 1 was approved by a 63-37 margin, but is likely to soon see opposition refocus efforts on a local level to ban dispensaries within city limits, as has happened in several other states.

Drug Czar Oversteps Bounds
October 17th, 2008 by Perry
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform recently criticized Office of National Drug Policy and its director, John Walters, for his involvement in partisan activities.
His recent lobbying efforts against Proposition 1 in Michigan, which would legalize medical marijuana in the state, was cited by the committee as a perfect example of someone going way above and beyond their scope of responsibility and intervening in violation of the Hatch Act.
This act clearly states federal and D.C. employees may not:
Walters’ participation in the election violates most of the above. We’re providing a link here to file a complaint about a Hatch Act violation, if you are so inclined.
