Metro Times, 16 May 2012 - Last Week, We Got Some Stuff Wrong - but Here's The Straight Dope In my last column I stepped in a pile of doo-doo regarding the implications of the April 17 state Court of Appeals decision in People vs. Koon. I said that a strict interpretation of the ruling meant that any medical marijuana patient could not legally drive.May 17, 2012
Petoskey News-Review, 16 May 2012 - A bipartisan collection of lawmakers is telling their fellow Michigan House representatives that fair is fair when it comes to government handouts and drug testing. Executives and presidents of companies accepting "corporate welfare" from the state would be tested for illegal drugs under legislation sponsored by Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills. It has the support of at least three other Republicans and a Democrat.May 10, 2012
Detroit Free Press, 10 May 2012 - Detroiters who tried for two years to get a proposal on Detroit ballots that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana hit a roadblock tonight when the city's law department appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court to disqualify the measure. A brief filed by city of Detroit lawyers argues that such a ballot question would not create a legitimate city ordinance because legalizing marijuana would be in conflict with state law.May 6, 2012

Metro Times, 02 May 2012 - Controversy Over Interpretation of Ruling on Medical Marijuana and Driving Update: Since this column was published on May 2, it has generated a heated debate among people with more than a casual knowledge of medical marijuana law and how it is applied in our legal system.

Morning Sun, 01 May 2012 - SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA IS DANGEROUS, OFFICIALS SAY Deb Derry knows too many teens who have tried "spice" and regretted it. Derry, a counselor at Mt.

Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, 30 Apr 2012 - Regarding your thoughtful April 11 editorial ("Pot laws offer up high dose of absurdity"), the drug war is largely a war on marijuana smokers. In 2010, there were 853,839 marijuana arrests in the United States, almost 90 percent for simple possession. At a time when state and local governments are laying off police, firefighters and teachers, this country continues to spend enormous public resources criminalizing Americans who prefer marijuana to martinis. The end result of this ongoing culture war is not necessarily lower rates of use.Apr 24, 2012

Depending on what state he lived in, a Trayvon Obama might be 57 times more likely than a Trayvon Bush to be imprisoned on drug charges.
