Medical Marijuana Cardholder Found With More Plants Than Allowed

[bobandtorey]

“The police followed me home from work to see how many plants I had,” she said.Law enforcement officials were contacted and investigated the situation. They asked Alley if they could see where she grows her marijuana, and she consented to a search.Kimberly Lynn Alley, 45 – a medical marijuana cardholder – was discovered to be distributing marijuana at her workplace. She said she was giving it to someone she worked with without remuneration; the recipient wasn’t a medical marijuana cardholder.HILLSDALE — A Jerome woman pled guilty Monday afternoon in Circuit Court to one count of controlled substance-delivery of marijuana.

The charge is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 4-years imprisonment and-or a $20,000 fine. Driver's license sanctions are also required by the State of Michigan if the defendant serves less than 1 year in prison.“(The plants) were at different stages (of growth)," she said.Alley said the whole situation was a misunderstanding.After conducting a search police found Alley to be in possession of more than the 12 plants allowed by medical marijuana laws.

Alley will be back in Circuit Court on Dec. 22 at 8:30 a.m. for sentencing when she will face a maximum of 4 years in prison. She has a prior felony from 2003 when she was prosecuted on prescription drug-related charges, but she is not being prosecuted as an habitual offender.At her initial arraignment Alley was also charged in a separate case with the manufacture of marijuana. With her guilty plea to delivery of a controlled substance, she will not be prosecuted on the other case. Her husband, who is also facing charges in connection with the incident, is being allowed to settle his charge in District Court by pleading to a misdemeanor.In some cases, the Michigan medical marijuana law allows individuals to grow plants for others, which would allow the individual to be in possession of more than 12 plants. However, Alley doesn’t have a caregiver card.In fact, Alley was found to be manufacturing 22 more plants than the law allows. Together with her husband, who is also a medical marijuana card holder, she would be able to be in possession of 24 plants.

Because the wicked marijuana demons will possess all those who gaze upon it and they will be cast into the fiery pits of hell for all eternity!

 

(Plus it's a great stimulus for the vampire economy, sucking the life blood from the people.)

It isn't in DC.  Actually it's required if your harvest puts you over allowable weight limits.

Sale with out remuneration is a misdemeanor. It's a fine and like maybe 90 days max. Look it up.

 

Question is how did she get cought giveing away pot.

 

Did the police department really use tax dollars to do a controlled "buy" and it end up being a freebie bag? Like seriously how much weed was she giveing away, and how much did it cost to bust her, for giveing away pot?

 

What a waist of time. There has to be some other more serious crime they can spend there time on, than freebie bags at the work place.

 

Then she had 22 more plants than the law allows, how much ya want to bet those were prolly unrooted clones. She and he husband could have 24 plants. I would put money down and say that the 22 over were clones.

 

This hole clone thing is BS they shouldn't be able to count them as plants. If you have a sick plant, that your trying to get healthy, you could take 25 clones, and only 1 or 2 make it.

 

Shoot the plant could even be healthy just old and not easily clone able. So if your trying to grow out, 12 plants of that strain, and only 2 out of the 15 make it. You would need 90 clone just to get 12 rooted plants.

 

Just saying.

 

I really hope they put that back into the bills.
