Medical Cannabis was approved by 3 million Michigan voters, 63% of the people who voted. Barry County Circuit Judge Amy McDowell dismissed felony delivery of marihuana charges after finding that a transfer of less than 2.5 ounces of marihuana between Qualifying Patients is protected by Michigan’s Medical Marihuana Act. The state is still surging ahead, making it a crime for patients to receive THEIR MEDICINE from anyone other than their registered caregiver. When given a prescription, you can have it filled from any pharmacy & change pharmacies the next day. This limited patients selection. There is also many cases where patients who are diagnosed, going through treatment, and need immediate medicine. They cannot wait 120 days for a plant to mature & hope nothing happens to the crop in the meantime.

The government needs to be informed that trying to list all of the medicinal and medical benefits of marijuana is like trying to name and list all of the stars in the sky; there are just so many of them! Americans, and people all across the rest of the planet, are standing up for their rights to incorporate holistic, natural medicines in order to remedy their ailments. We cannot be forced into taking in the toxic substances released as medicines from multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical companies. And with the help of modern technologies, the many medicinal benefits of marijuana are ever-increasingly becoming integrated into the very fabric of worldwide societies everywhere.

Isn't it strange that the United States government, the same government that denies its people the legal right to use medical marijuana, holds patents on the medicinal attributes of weed's usage? That's right, the US government holds patents for the medicinal usage of cannabis because of its neuroprotectant and antioxidant properties.
Cannabis sativa has been used as a holistically effective medicinal agent on every continent, by all types of people, for thousands and thousands of years. As powerful international pharmaceutical companies continue to break down under the scrutiny and anger of world citizens, natural, holistic preventatives and cures, like marijuana, continue to resurface as sensible health solutions. There's no need to worry about a long list of possible side effects, many of which are more detrimental than the conditions being treated in the first place. And whether or not governmental agencies want to give in to widespread medicinal marijuana usage, in short time, they will have to.

Let Michigan know -- Do NOT approve Bill No. 4850.
