Rand study finds less crime near pot dispensaries
Medical marijuana dispensaries — with storerooms of high-priced weed, registers brimming with cash and some clientele more interested in getting high than getting well — are often seen as magnets for crime, a perception deepened by a few high-profile murders.
But a report from the Rand Corp. reaches a startling conclusion: The opposite appears to be true.
Medical Marijuana Rally in Lansing

People v Reed Court of Appeals Ruling
People v. Reed deals with the Section 4 affirmative defense. A qualifying patient cannot cultivate plants before he has a physician recommendation. Kolanek had previously ruled on this issue but the Reed opinion extends it. In Kolanek, the Court said that the physician recommendation must come before the arrest. The Reed court extends Kolanek by holding that the physician recommendation must come before the alleged criminal activity, e.g. cultivating plants in this case. In Reed the police investigation revealed that the defendant was growing plants in his backyard. The defendant later obtained a physician recommendation, and then was arrested. The Court found that was not entitled to a dismissal of the case since he was cultivating marijuana plants before he had his physician recommendation.

How we interpret “connected” is the question that needs answered. Are we all connected by our individual involvement in the registry process?
No rush to shut down medical pot shops

Some officials are in no rush to shut down dispensaries without a thorough investigation. In northern Michigan, the Otsego County prosecutor said he hopes the Michigan Supreme Court overturns the appeals court’s decision.
