Interesting article about the final hours in the Senate this year.

Clip:

 

However, Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville has been working on potential modifications to the legislation and believes both bills could still end up on Gov. Rick Snyder’s desk by the end of the year.

“We’re gonna try,” Richardville told reporters Wednesday. “We’ve got about 48 hours, and that’s more than enough time.”

When told the governor’s office didn’t believe there is enough time to finish work on the bills this year, Richardville said, “If we send him something, he’ll have to react to it. We’ve outperformed their expectations before.”

Richardville, who said that Michigan State Police have been helpful during discussions, said he's trying to "walk that tightrope" between law enforcement needs and legitimate patient access to medical marijuana.

 

"Some of these people really do need this kind of medication," he said.

 

Though you might be interested.

Walking a "tightrope" between patient needs and law enforcement needs? WTF does law enforcement need? A guarantee that their income and power won't be impinged upon? I think what they really need is classes in critical, logic based reasoning.

 

That tightrope might go slack, Senator, if you call the police's bluff and tell them what everyone else already knows: cannabis does not deserve all the attention that the police want to assign to it.

 They know they get most of their business from us.

 

They need a lesson in what their job is, they seem to have forgot.  Maybe even read the constitution.  Study it and see how far they've strayed.

 

The only thing the cops need is to get a scale and learn there are 28.3 grams in a ounce and they are not regulators and they do not have to check for compliance!
