Marijuana laws in Ann Arbor, Michigan - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  (INF) During the last thirty years, the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan has enacted some of the most lenient laws on marijuana possession in the United States. These include measures approved in a 1972 city-council ordinance, a 1974 voter referendum making possession of small amounts of the substance merely a civil infraction subject to a small fine, and a 2004 referendum on the use of medical marijuana. However, the far-stricter state laws are still enforced on University of Michigan property, even within the city of Ann Arbor.  ....

Legal and medical status of cannabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Cannabis is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:

A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.

 

This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of cannabis to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.  Visit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_and_medical_status_of_cannabis

The Saginaw News reported on March 4, 2007 ("Flint Pot Vote Raises Awareness") that "By a 1,777-1,101 vote, Flint became the fifth Michigan city to approve legally puffing pot for health reasons.

Other Michigan cities that have approved medical pot-use measures are Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ferndale and Traverse City. Lansing is the next target, says NORML, a pro-marijuana outfit, and the goal is to get a medical dope initiative on the statewide ballot.  Visit:  http://www.medicalmj.org/flintvote.htm

Feature: Medical Marijuana Gets a Hearing in Michigan (NEWs {Issue #463, 12/1/06}, Org {from Drug War Chronicle})  The medical marijuana issue came to the Michigan statehouse for the first time ever this week. In Lansing on Tuesday, the state House Government Operations Committee held a hearing where medical marijuana patients, advocates, and supporters were given the floor -- and they came from across the state and the country to do just that.  The hearing was tied to 5740, a bill that would allow people with 'debilitating medical conditions' to use marijuana without fear of arrest, which was introduced by Rep. LaMar Lemmons III and now has eight cosponsors. But with the legislative session just two weeks away from ending, the hearing will lead to no action this year.  Visit:  http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/463/medical_marijuana_gets_hearing_in_michigan

REVIEW OF HUMAN STUDIES ON MEDICAL USE OF MARIJUANA by Dale H. Gieringer, Ph.D. (INF {Article, August 1996}, Org {California NORML, 2215-R Market St. #278, San Francisco CA 94114 * (415) 563-5858 / canorml@igc.apc.org } ) SUMMARY: HUMAN STUDIES ON MEDICAL USES OF MARIJUANA.  There have been hundreds of studies on the medical uses of cannabis since its introduction to western medicine in the early nineteenth century.  A review of the literature reveals over 65 human studies, most of them in the 1970's and early 80's.  * The best established medical use of smoked marijuana is as an anti-nauseant for cancer chemotherapy. Marijuana's efficacy was demonstrated in studies by half a dozen states, involving hundreds of subjects. Most research has found smoked marijuana superior to oral THC (Marinol). Many oncologists are currently recommending marijuana to their patients.  Visit:  http://www.marijuana.org/DalesReport.html

 

California Cannabis Research Medical Group (CCRMG) |  Implementation of the Compassionate Use Act In a Family Medical Practice:  Seven Years' Clinical Experience, By Frank H. Lucido, MD, with Mariavittoria Mangini, PhD, FNP.  Clinical medicine, as I have experienced it during a quarter century of practice, is a constantly evolving system. Every practitioner has a different approach to gathering clinical information, diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic decision making.  There is rarely a single correct way to care for patients. Instead, there is usually a wide variety of acceptable approaches, any of which may be appropriate in a given situation1.

"Dope or medicine? Michigan to vote on legalizing marijuana for medical use Charlie Cain / Detroit News Lansing Bureau Rochelle Lampkin is a 49- year-old grandmother of 10 who used to picket in front of dope houses in her Detroit neighborhood, chanting "this is wrong, shut it down."

Today, she knowingly breaks the law by using marijuana to ease searing eye pain -- a side-effect of the multiple sclerosis that struck her more than 20 years ago. She must use a cane or walker to get around.

Lampkin is among the enthusiastic supporters of a proposal that will be on Michigan's fall ballot to legalize marijuana use by the terminally and seriously ill. visit - http://www.detnews.com/apps/p bcs.dll/article? AID=/20080429/POLITICS/804290 377 "
