I know don't post much, but today is just a sad, sad day for me. I have been using cannabis since my mom wanted me put on Valiums because I was moody back in 74. I remember the brotherhood that existed back then between those of us who used back then. An invisible bond that pulled us all together from all walks of life. I remember going to parks around Grand Rapids with my friends and meet total strangers and spent the entire day with them eating their food and end up leaving friends. For me this brotherhood, sisterhood, this bond lasted right up to the time it was made legal for medical use.

When I decided to get involved I found and joined a compassion club that wanted to help patients. You bet they wanted to help patients, themselves right to the patients wallets. They want to run as many patients through their patient mill so they can sign them up to one of their caregivers. I joined the 3MA and then the crap hit the fan here between the leaders and some of the members. Things got ugly and I wont go into it suffice to say good people got drove away. People this movement still needs so if they are still fighting through a different group I say THANK YOU.

I have seen way to much greed and fighting and it has to stop and stop NOW. Maybe it is the hippie in me coming out, but what happened to sitting on the grass shoulder to shoulder swaying to the music as we passed the joint. We don't have to agree on everything people and we all know this. So how about we all start looking in the same direction. There is only one group of people who will suffer in the end and we all know it is the patients. This fighting has me to the point of tears as I sit here typing these words. How can this movement go anywhere if we can not get together on the same page then at least how about in the same playbook.

I my thoughts on the CPU is they are a private group who do not have to share their information with the 3MA so thank you for sharing.

In any Democracy, it is the right of any group to operate in secrecy. This is called freedom. We hope members from all groups will use this opportunity to join hands and create an united front, or risk leaving our fate in the hands of the narrow interpretation of LEO.

I guess I don't understand a few things about CPU. First off you guys say you are a private club and you don't need to share any information with any of us. Which is fine if that is your stance. But at the same time you tell us that you guys are working in Lansing representing us "the patients" myself being one. Don't go to Lansing representing us if you feel you don't have to share any info with us. You guys act like you are the Freemasons or Skull & Bones or some secret society. If you guys have meetings with the MSP let them know you are only speaking for your own small group.

Second, I don't understand how you claim you are "neutral" on dispensaries but are for p2p transfers.
I believe that almost all the so-called "dispensaries" are operating by p2p transfers. Oh I get it, the word "dispensary" is a bad word. I guess you guys must be for the "Cooperatives" or the "Collectives" or maybe the "Private Clubs". I guess all those sound a little better then "Dispensary" huh.

And people wonder why the BACC is taking baby steps...I have long been of the opinion that this day would come, that the popo have just been sitting on information and that the hammer would eventually fall. There are many within my group that feel the same way, that we are much better off falling somewhat behind the curve, than being on the crest of the wave. Now we have the misfortune that has happened in Williamston. I certainly hope that everyone has their seatbelts tightly fastened, cuz this is going to turn into a hell of a bumpy ride shortly...Peace...j.b. p.s. Mike Cox? Nah, he'd never do anything so underhanded as to attempt to sway popular opinion...would he? If he wins then we can probably kiss this law, bye-bye...IMHO, he may not be able to sway the representatives to completely take away our rights, but he could gut the law so badly that it could become unuseable...watch this guy, he's a politico...

"She went on to say that the MSP and other police organizations are now actively investigating various dispensaries and it is highly likely these entities will be busted at some point down the road."

Mike Cox(sucker) attorney general and candidate for governor of michigan would never take political advantage by exploiting medical marijuana patients , caregivers, or this community by timing raids on medical marijuana dispensaries just before this Novembers elections. Am I right, or am I right?
