Look out Detroit and Michigan...Here they come. The people you vote in thinking they will represent your interests flip the script or don't follow your plan. Do they ever once they drink the kool aid at the inauguration party and the power starts pulsing through their veins.
The Cannabis community should take note of State Sen. Betty Jean Alexander.
Betty Jean Alexander came out of nowhere to occupy a seat in Lansing, representing the west side of Detroit and some surrounding suburban communities.
Despite the advisory opinion that Michigan should not establish a per se level of THC as intoxication. Alexander proposed a law (SB 347) to amend the Michigan vehicle code that would set that level at 5 ng/ml.
The Proposal- SENATE BILL No. 347
(8) A person, whether licensed or not, shall not operate a vehicle upon a highway or other place open to the general public or generally accessible to motor vehicles, including an area designated for the parking of vehicles, within this state if the person has ANY OF THE FOLLOWING in his or her body:
(A) ANY amount of a controlled substance listed in schedule 1 under section 7212 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.7212, or a rule promulgated under that section, or OTHER THAN MARIHUANA.
(B) MARIHUANA, AS SHOWN BY 5 OR MORE NANOGRAMS PER MILLILITER OF BLOOD OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
(i) DELTA 9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (DELTA 9-THC).
(ii) 11-HYDROXY-DELTA 9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (11-OH-THC).
(iii) 11-NOR-9-CARBOX-DELTA 9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC-COOH).

Who asked her to propose this? The people? The justice system circle?

Don't Forget
- The Police may legally lie, bluff, mislead and intimidate you.
- Most “avoidable arrests” occur from trickery and intimidation and failing to understand your rights and when to assert them.
- Refusing to answer questions is not an admission of guilt
- Asserting your right to remain silent is not an admission of guilt
- Demanding to have your lawyer present during any questioning is not an admission of guilt
- Refusing a search is not an admission of guilt.
Be aware of Police Questions:
- “Have you had anything to drink or smoke tonight?” - Best response: is no
- Where are you coming from? It is best to have this answer pre-prepared so as to not raise suspicion.Or answer the Officers questions by stating “Respectfully officer, I don’t have to answer that.”
- “Not answering is suspicious, why are you not answering my question, clearly you are doing something wrong?” Best Answer: “Officer, respectfully I am aware of my rights, and constitutional protections, and I know I have no legal obligation to answer your questions.
- “Not answering is resisting me in this investigation”
Best Answer: “I’m not resisting, respectfully, I don’t have to answer anything.” - “If you have nothing to hide, you don’t mind if I look around.”
Best response: “I’m sorry Officer, but I don’t consent to searches.” - “If you refuse a search, I’ll have to call a K-9 unit.”
Best response: “Officer, are you detaining me, or am I free to go?” - Officers cannot detain you past the purpose of the traffic stop and detaining you beyond this purpose is constitutionally illegal. Specifically officers cannot detain you beyond the traffic stop for the purpose of calling for a k-9 unit or drug sniffing dog.
