NEWS FLASH

Michigan Attorney General Wants To Restrict Access To Medical Marijuana | Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette (R-MI) has announced his intention to amend the medical marijuana law approved via referendum in 2008. Claiming that the law is being abused and exploited by those who do not need medical marijuana for ailments, Schuette plans to endorse a slew of bills that will be introduced in the fall to deal with supposed loopholes. One of the new requirements Schuette wants would be to revoke a medical marijuana patient’s drivers license if they are found with the drug in their system. Some medical marijuana advocates object to this, saying that trace amounts of marijuana can show up in a user’s blood up to 30 days after their last usage.
