LANSING — A Macomb County man sentenced to life in prison without parole because of a 2000 drug offense could get a reprieve with a new law that went into effect last week.
The bill eliminates the requirement that habitual drug offenders get enhanced sentences, up to life in prison without parole. Instead, prisoners would be eligible for parole after serving five years of their sentence.
That could help John Sellors, a Macomb County man convicted in 2002 of selling 51 grams of cocaine. It was his second drug offense and required the enhanced sentence. Several requests for commutation from Sellors have been denied, according to a House analysis of the bill.
He is one of three prisoners in Michigan prisons who will be eligible for parole as a result of the new law, said Corrections’ Department spokeswoman Holly Kramer.
Michigan reformed its drug sentencing laws in 1998, getting rid of some of the toughest sentencing practices in the nation. But the enhanced sentencing for second drug offenses stayed on the books.
The three-bill package passed unanimously in both the House of Representatives and Senate and were the last bills signed into law last year. They went into effect on March 28.
They were among more than 100 bills signed by Gov. Rick Snyder and Lt. Gov. Brian Calley in the final six weeks of 2017. Others included packages of bills that require municipalities to report and develop plans to deal with unfunded liabilities in pension and retiree health care funds.

There is good news and bad news for the fledgling marijuana industry in Michigan.
The good news first: The federal budget passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump on Friday includes language that continues the policy that the federal government shouldn’t use resources to enforce federal drug laws in states that have legalized medical marijuana.
The bad news: The state Department of Treasury sent out a bulletin earlier this year that it expects medical marijuana card holders to pay a 6% tax whether they purchase the product from a dispensary operating with a state-issued license or from a caregiver operating under the old law that was approved by voters in 2008.
This is a departure for patients who will continue to use a caregiver — a person certified to grow 12 plants for each of five patients, say medical marijuana cardholders. They haven’t paid taxes on the products they’ve purchased since the old medical marijuana law was passed.
But it will be an honor system for those patients because they’ll have to claim what they’ve purchased on their annual state tax returns as a use tax. Cardholders who use dispensaries will pay a 6% sales tax — along with a 3% excise tax — when they purchase the product at a dispensary.
Marijuana advocates are calling it the “patient tax.”
“Until earlier this year, the Treasury Department didn’t want anything to do with patient-to-caregiver transactions,” said Rick Thompson, a board member of the Michigan chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws or NORML. “Any change of this magnitude should be initiated by an act of the Legislature. It shouldn’t be up to the purview of a state department or department head.”
On the enforcement front, the federal government considers marijuana an illegal controlled substance, but 30 states have legalized cannabis for medical use, including eight states and the District of Columbia that also have legalized marijuana for recreational use. The federal budget language clarifies that states with medical marijuana laws shouldn’t be a target for federal prosecution.
“It’s great news because it takes the teeth out of (Attorney General Jeff) Sessions’ decision to rescind the Cole memo,” said Alex Leonowicz, an attorney with the Howard & Howard law firm in Royal Oak.
That memo, signed in 2013 during the administration of President Barack Obama, discouraged the Department of Justice from using federal resources to prosecute marijuana crimes in states that had legalized marijuana for recreational or medical use. And while that policy has been reversed, the recently passed federal budget doesn’t contain any money for medical marijuana enforcement.
“And nobody works for free,” Leonowicz said.
Left a bit in limbo, though, is the recreational market, which isn’t included in the language of the federal budget. Michigan voters may get to weigh in on the subject if a proposal to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use gets on the ballot in November.
“It’s important for any new industry to have continuity of regulations,” Thompson said. “It’s important for people who want to engage in industry as well as the financers and bankers who are going to go out on a limb to support the industry.”
Josh Hovey, spokesman for the coalition that is pushing the legalization ballot proposal said they’re not too concerned about the lack of recognition from the federal government for the recreational marijuana market.
“Based on recent polls, people in Michigan believe prohibition is a failed experiment and they’re ready for something different,” he said, citing a poll done earlier this month by the Lansing-based polling firm EPIC/MRA, which showed 61% support for legalization.
The poll was paid for by Michigan NORML.
As for the 6% tax, the state Treasury Department issued the bulletin earlier this year that it expects medical marijuana cardholders to pay the 6% tax on the products they purchase no matter where the product is sold.
“A qualifying patient that receives marijuana from a primary caregiver is liable for use tax at a rate of 6% of the purchase price of the marijuana,” the bulletin states. “Use tax should be remitted and reported annually on the qualifying patient’s Michigan Individual Income Tax Return.”
Angie Roullier, 43, of West Bloomfield was one of the first medical marijuana cardholders after the 2008 ballot proposal passed and the cannabis has provided tremendous relief from her symptoms of muscular dystrophy.
“The state’s getting their money whether you walk into a dispensary or not and it’s the only medication that is taxed,” she said. “And that’s BS.”
While there haven’t been similar bulletins sent out by the Treasury Department in recent years, spokesman Ron Leix said the tax on medical marijuana is not new and similar to the 6% use tax people are supposed to pay for online purchases in which the business doesn’t charge sales tax.
“It’s an honor system,” said Treasury Department spokesman Ron Leix, and not particularly easy to enforce.
The 6% use tax is consolidated into one line on state tax returns, so it’s impossible to tell if or how much medical marijuana cardholders have paid over the years.
“If they have, it’s been minimal,” Leix said.
As for further individual notifications to medical marijuana cardholders, who decide to continue to use caregivers rather than dispensaries, Leix said, that task would be impossible because of medical privacy laws that prohibit the disclosure of the names of cardholders.
“What I like to call this tax is the pass and pretend laws,” Thompson said. “They pass the laws and we pretend that people are going to comply.”
But Leonowicz said the Treasury Department bulletin is an attempt to level the playing field for medical marijuana customers.
“It’s a loophole that needs to be closed. If you don’t put everyone on the same plane, you can have caregivers who can charge less than dispensaries,” he said. “It’s consistent and it’s fair across the board.”

It’s April 2018 and the 47th annual Ann Arbor Hash Bash is just around the corner on . If you are attending you should know the laws of the city and the State of Michigan.
The U of M Student Legal Services provides an overview of the City of Ann Arbor laws regarding possession of Marijuana.
To quote the website…
“It is illegal to possess, use, or sell marijuana. In the City of Ann Arbor, a violation of this law is considered a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of $25 for the first offense.
However, while on the University of Michigan’s property, state law is enforced. Therefore, possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor.
This offense is punishable by fines and up to six months in jail. If you are convicted, the court is also required to suspend your driving privileges in Michigan.
It is not uncommon for students to smoke marijuana in their dorm rooms. Because of this, it is not uncommon for housing security to check the halls for the smell of Marijuana. Once marijuana is found in your dorm room, whether you are arrested or not, if it is seized, it will be tested which could take several months.
Therefore, it may take as long as six months before you are officially charged. After that, you will go to court and that process can last another six months.”
Forty medical marijuana businesses across Michigan got an unpleasant visit Thursday from state officials and the Michigan State Police, ordering them to stop operating.
And those visits are just the beginning. Hundreds more are expected to get cease and desist letters in the coming days.
The state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs began the process of shutting down medical marijuana facilities that are operating illegally and haven’t submitted applications to the state for a license.
“Any business that didn’t apply for a license by Feb. 15 isn’t in compliance with the emergency rules that were set up,” said David Harns, spokesman for the department. “We did 40 today all throughout the state and there will be hundreds more.”
Harns wouldn’t say what kind of businesses got the cease and desist letters or how the state had identified them, but most were probably dispensaries that have been operating outside of Michigan’s medical marijuana laws.
The emergency rules “permits an applicant for a state operating license to temporarily operate a proposed marijuana facility under certain conditions,” the cease and desist letter read. “In order to comply with this rule, a temporarily operating facility must have applied for a state operating license by February 15. … A person that does not comply with this rule shall cease and desist operation of a proposed marijuana facility.”
If the business owner doesn’t shut down, he or she risks not being able to get a license at all from the state, the letter said, and could also result in a “referral to local, state, or federal law enforcement and other penalties or sanctions as provided in the MMFLA (Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act) and Emergency Rules.”
When LARA and the Michigan State Police visited the businesses, they only delivered the cease and desist letter and did not confiscate any products from the businesses, said Harns.
Michigan voters passed a medical marijuana law in 2008 that allowed caregivers to grow up to 12 plants for each of five patients who had obtained medical marijuana cards. There are more than 277,000 people who have medical marijuana cards in the state.
Some of those caregivers banded together to set up dispensaries, some with the blessing of the communities where they were open for business. Others got busted, including many in Oakland County over the years, by police in towns that were more wary of the medical weed.
In 2016, the Legislature decided it needed to get a handle on the medical marijuana business and passed bills to regulate and tax medical marijuana. It’s expected to be a lucrative business with revenues exceeding $700 million a year. That could rise even more dramatically if a proposal to legalize marijuana for adult recreational use gets on the November ballot and is passed by voters.
The state began accepting applications for licenses in December and is in the process of doing background checks on the business owners. The Medical Marijuana Licensing Board is meeting next Thursday and will begin considering some of the applications. But licenses aren’t expected to be handed out until the board’s April meeting.
The licenses are in five categories: growers, processors, testing facilities, secure transporters and dispensaries.
So far 378 applications have come in to pre-qualify for a license, which means that the business owners are going through the state background check, but still need to get approval from a town that has passed an ordinance allowing medical marijuana businesses. Another 117 applications — including 43 growers, 20 processors, 49 dispensaries, 2 secure transporters and 3 testing facilities — have been turned in that include approval from a local community.
