Medical Marijuana Issues Lawyer

Know Medical Marijuana Laws, Know Your Rights

Even though state voters approved the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act in 2008, allowing the legal use of marijuana for medicinal treatments, many users of the substance are still facing scrutiny and, in some cases, arrests. When medical marijuana cardholders are complying with the law but have their property seized or are criminally charged, there is a clear violation of your rights at play. If you feel you have been mistreated or wrongfully accused of drug crimes after using medical marijuana, you need a medical marijuana lawyer from Rasor Law Firm on your side.

One of the biggest issues behind the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act and why it is failing to protect innocent people are its changing regulations.

As of 2015, you must follow several requirements to legally use medical marijuana, including:

There have also been introductions of related infractions surrounding the possession and transportation of medical marijuana. Most notably, failing to keep it in an enclosed and locked case while operating a vehicle can result in three months in prison and a $500 fine. To some, the vagueness of this law is seen as an easy way to ticket marijuana users.
