Saline Banned Medical Marijuana
Saline just banned medical marijuana. The real surprise lies in the depth of the ban…
…city officials decided they wanted to follow federal law regarding marijuana, which prohibits its sale and possession.Not sure if i read it wrong or this is a typo, but if not it seems Saline is abandoning State law regarding medical marijuana altogether in favor of the more strict federal statues, without regard to the President’s directive that many of these same federal laws were not to be strictly enforced in States that allow for medical use of marijuana. It seems that Saline administrators did not get that memo.
Saline has somewhat of a reputation for being a police state, and banning it is their right i suppose, but the fact that the interpretation of such a massive legal issue is being left for individual city and township(!!!!) administrators to decide is ridiculous.County/State/Federal lawmakers need to start making some real decisions regarding medical marijuana and how the law is to be interpreted, because we all have better things to do with our time.
We all know that in a few years marijuana will be legalized nationwide anyway, if for no reason other than that we can no longer afford to imprison people for non-violent crime thanks to the war, recession, oil spill, monetary devaluation and every other reason we are broke. Until then, it looks like lawmakers will continue playing these games with the lives of otherwise ordinary citizens and livelihoods of productive members of the community.

I bet this wouldnt be a problem if New York’s David Paterson was in charge. Oh wait, he is the guy who admitted to recreational use of marijuana and cocaine, but has yet to allow for legitimate use of medical use of marijuana for cancer patients. Hmmmmm…..
