We all know that the proposal to legalize medicinal marijuana in Michigan passed with the Nov. 4, 2008 election. The law allows patients with cancer, HIV, AIDS, glaucoma and other diseases to use marijuana to relieve their symptoms on a doctor's recommendation. I voted for it and I'm glad it passed. In my opinion, if you have a debilitating or possibly fatal disease and lighting up a joint makes you more comfortable and doesn't harm you, by all means do it. I'll get a match.
But I gotta say, I was a little caught off guard and had to chuckle when I heard a radio ad on Ann Arbor's 107.1 today for a conference in Ann Arbor that will address how to grow and cultivate your own cannabis plants. A cheerful woman explained that marijuana was legal to use for medicinal purposes in Michigan so you should come learn how to grow it yourself! Why not!? I can see all of us at work with little marijuana plants in our windowsills, small children planting cannabis in their community gardens, and heaps of the stuff selling at the farmer's market on Saturday mornings.
No wonder University of Michigan student and Olympic Gold Medal winner Michael Phelps was caught and photographed smoking a pipe. He didn't stand a chance here.
