Hundreds Protest at Hearing for Medical Marijuana Defendants

Submitted by dguard on
Buoyed by signs and words of support from several hundred chanting demonstrators, 10 people appeared in court Thursday to be assigned future dates to challenge multiple charges of delivery of manufactured medical marijuana. All were arrested and charged following raids and seizures by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Narcotics Enforcement Team at a medical marijuana clinic and a compassion club and its related dispensary. A Michigan Court of Appeals judge last month urged lawmakers to clarify the state's medical marijuana law, saying the “inartfully drafted” measure has resulted in confusion and arrests that some have called an enforcement nightmare.
