Ann Arbor, Michigan / Detroit Michigan, Medical Marijuana Attorney
In recognition of modern medical research (most notably by the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine) showing clear beneficial use of Marijuana in treating/alleviating pain, nausea, and many other debilitating medical conditions, the State of Michigan passed the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (Proposal 1) in 2008. This Act provides explicit protection for qualifying Michigan patients that register with the Department of Community Health and receive registry identification cards to show law enforcement officials.
Although federal law currently prohibits any use of marijuana except under very limited circumstances, states are not required to enforce federal law or prosecute people for engaging in activities prohibited by federal law. The laws of Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Washington do not penalize the medical use and cultivation of marijuana. Michigan joins in this effort for the health and welfare of its citizens.
