US MI: Edu: Council Seeks Additional Information on Possible
The State News, 29 Jul 2010 - The East Lansing City Council is seeking additional input from the city police department regarding a possible medicinal marijuana ordinance following a work session Tuesday at which councilmembers expressed slightly differing views of how the ordinance might be created. The discussion was introduced by Assistant City Attorney Tom Yeadon because the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, or MMMA, which legalized the possession of marijuana for medicinal purposes, does not define how to deal with dispensaries. Among the possibilities discussed Tuesday were allowing only home occupancy dispensaries, only storefront dispensaries or banning dispensaries entirely.

Opposition To DEA Pot Raids Spreads Across Political Spectrum
<![CDATA[
â??Two ideologically diverse advocates on Wednesday echoed an earlier call by a coalition of drug-policy reform groups by condemning a series of recent raids by the Drug Enforcement Administration on medical marijuana collectives operating legally under state law.The Tenth Amendment Center, a group that advocates for states' rights, and Jane Hamsher, the publisher of Firedoglake.com, called on the DEA to respect duly adopted state medical marijuana laws and immediately end those raids."The federal government is only authorized to exercise those powers that 'We The People' delegated to it in the Constitution," said Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center. "It is especially egregious when these laws are used to justify raids in states where the use and distribution of cannabis is expressly allowed by law."
