Coldwater, Mich. — A friend told Richard Laughry he could grow marijuana because he had filed for a Michigan Medical Marijuana (MMMA) card and the state cashed his money order.

“I thought I was legal,” Laughry, 42, told Branch County Circuit Court Judge Bill O’Grady.

Laughry will serve six months in jail and then be on probation for two years for manufacturing the drug at his Behnke Road home.

“You may not apply for the medical marijuana card while on probation,” Judge O’Grady told him. “You must be drug-free” and will be drug tested.

Because he was growing before he received card or because it is banned in his city?

perfect reason to have the community involved, or at least informed, BEFORE sentencing

joe and I both called to have both the police chief and pros. atty. come talk at the club in coldwater but they would not even talk to us.

It seems to me if we call and ask for help and they don't give the help then anytime they arrest someone they should have a leagel loopole and the city state county should be held acountable. if they are trying to take our money and put us in jail then they need to tell us all what we need to do to stay out of jail and make them happy. and leave us alone.

if it is a medicene " WHICH IT IS" then they shouldn't stop you from taking it.
along that lines then if you can't smoke meds when you are sick and on probation then you shouldn't be able to take any meds what so ever if you limit one medicene then you have to limit all medicenes. You can't pick and choose. It is either all or nothing. And that also goes for any place where you get your medicene. If they tell us where we have to zone our dispenseries then that same laws applys to drug stores pharmcies,gas stations walmart any place that sells medicene weither it is asprine marijuana coidene, what ever they are dicrimagating against our medicene. if they are going to regulate our medicene then they have to regulate their medicene. as well

six months in jail!

The wife beater two blocks over last year got thirty days after beating his wife so badly he broke her nose, jaw, and fractured both her eye sockets.

'Equal and fair treatment under the law" is a lie

[bobandtorey]

The story doesn't say much as to what he had if he would of came here we may have helped him

[wolfgang]

[garyfisher]

This Judge told me that if he had his way Medical Marijuana wouldn't be allowed in his county. Branch County is backwards and will continue to be so until Grady and his other cohorts are voted out. Both Grady and Coyle were voted to their seats in 08, they need to be voted out along with the Oakland county judges etc.

[peanutbutter]

We do need the actual facts. Had he received his rec? If so when? Before or after arrest. Thanks, Bb

Sounds like he had a copy of his canceled check at the time of the arrest.

It is possible that he was already on probation when he applied for the card.

Sounds like ..

[wolfgang]

you cant be on probation to get a card? IDR reading that,what am I missing here? Guess I'll have to re-read the law AGAIN. I would def not roll over like that,inless these were the lesser charges of something else?? Even then,I'd go kicking and screaming

[DreamWarrior67]

I think so. but that shouldn't matter if he needs the meds then he needs the meds. if you are on probation can they take your hart meds away. I think not. so what is the difference. hart,cancer,diabetic pain meds they are all meds. If you take one away you have to take all meds away. you can't pick and choose.
