Oklahoma’s wild marijuana market is about to shrivel

Oklahoma’s wild marijuana market is about to shrivel

The world’s weed market, once booming with nearly 14,000 licensed medical marijuana businesses at its peak, has experienced a steady decline since Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly rejected a recreational legalization referendum in March.

Heightened enforcement by state regulators and law enforcement has forced numerous businesses to close their doors. Additionally, others have come to the realization that Oklahoma’s cannabis production is extraordinarily high—64 times more than necessary to meet the demands of the state’s medical patients, as highlighted by a recent study. Consequently, attempting to generate any profit from this oversaturated market has become an insurmountable challenge.

With the potential customer base gradually declining, the number of individuals enrolled in the medical program has decreased to nearly 350,000, from a previous high of over 385,000.

Oklahoma serves as a cautionary tale for the nation’s marijuana legalization experiment, showcasing the amplified challenges faced by fledgling markets within its staunchly conservative climate.

The unlikely boom market has been sullied by dozens of raids on illegal cultivation sites, rampant diversion of products into the illicit market, allegations of human trafficking and grisly crimes, including a quadruple murder of Chinese nationals at a weed farm last November.

Struggling business owners express their relief that the crackdowns they have long awaited have finally arrived. They have grown increasingly frustrated in their efforts to compete with operators who ignore regulations and were hopeful that the market would experience significant growth following recreational legalization, especially with Texans venturing across the border.

But with the defeat of the ballot measure — every single county in the state voted against it — they’re now hoping that enough firms will fail that it will be more feasible to run a financially successful business.

Court rules that Illegal cannabis grow of any size just a misdemeanor in Michigan

Court rules that Illegal cannabis grow of any size just a misdemeanor in Michigan

According to MLive – The likelihood of black-market marijuana growers in Michigan facing full-blown, paramilitary-style raids featuring battering rams and heavily armed narcotics teams has diminished.

Growing illegal marijuana in Michigan, even potentially thousands of plants, is only a misdemeanor crime, the state Court of Appeals ruled on Oct. 5, 2023.

Attorney Michael Komorn of the Komorn law firm specializes in cannabis defense and currently has several clients charged under felony marijuana possession laws. In light of the Court of Appeals ruling, he plans to file motions requesting those charges be reduced to misdemeanors.

Komorn said most prosecutors and police have already placed a low priority on marijuana enforcement, except for “certain pockets” of the state.

“They’ll raid like the old days, come in with guns and masks and go through that whole process,” he said, “but their dilemma is, how do we charge somebody. What, do you get charged with a misdemeanor?

 

“I have a number of cases where they’ve seized property and not charged anybody. And you can only reap the benefits of forfeiture if you get a felony conviction.”

DEA

Don’t count out the Feds for a good raid or two.

Federal Law (Oct 2023) 

Under federal law, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use. This means that it is illegal to possess, manufacture, distribute, or dispense marijuana, except for certain research purposes.

The federal laws regarding marijuana are enforced by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The DEA can investigate and arrest people for marijuana offenses, and it can also seize marijuana and other assets related to marijuana trafficking.

The penalties for marijuana offenses under federal law can be severe. For example, possession of marijuana can be punished by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. Manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing marijuana can be punished by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

However, it is important to note that the federal laws regarding marijuana are in conflict with the laws of many states. In recent years, a growing number of states have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use. Despite the state laws, marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

This conflict between federal and state law has created a number of challenges for law enforcement and the marijuana industry. For example, it is unclear whether federal law enforcement officials can arrest people who are using or selling marijuana in states where it is legal. Additionally, the legal marijuana industry has difficulty accessing banking services and other financial resources, because banks are afraid of violating federal law.

There is a growing movement to reform the federal laws regarding marijuana. A number of bills have been introduced in Congress that would legalize marijuana at the federal level or deschedule it from the Controlled Substances Act. However, it is unclear whether any of these bills will be passed into law.

In the meantime, the conflict between federal and state law remains. People who use or sell marijuana in states where it is legal should be aware that they are still violating federal law.

Don’t tell that to the taxman though – See section 280E of the IRS code.

 

taxing illegal activities-is that even legal

 

Michigan

Michigan has seen a rise in illegal marijuana grows in recent years, despite the state’s legalization of recreational and medical marijuana in 2018. These illegal grows are often large-scale operations that operate without a license and violate state laws.

There are a number of reasons why people might choose to grow marijuana illegally. Some people may be trying to avoid paying taxes on their marijuana sales, while others may be growing marijuana to sell on the black market. In some cases, people may grow marijuana illegally because they are unaware of the state’s marijuana laws.

 

Illegal marijuana grows can have a number of negative consequences. They can be a nuisance to neighbors, due to the smell of marijuana and the increased traffic in and out of the property. Illegal grows can also be a public safety hazard, as they may use dangerous chemicals and electrical equipment. Additionally, illegal grows can contribute to the black market for marijuana, which can lead to violence.

The Michigan State Police (MSP) is responsible for investigating illegal marijuana grows in the state. The MSP has a dedicated Marijuana and Tobacco Investigation Section (MTIS) that investigates these crimes. In recent years, the MTIS has conducted hundreds of investigations and seized millions of dollars worth of marijuana from illegal grows.

If you suspect that there is an illegal marijuana grow in your neighborhood, you should report it to the MSP.

You can find out what time it is by calling 202-762-1401.

 

If you are thinking about growing marijuana in Michigan, it is important to make sure that you are doing so legally. You can find more information about Michigan’s marijuana laws on the website of the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency or consult an experienced law firm regarding cannabis licensing in Michigan such a Komorn Law.

It’s not hard to be accused of being a Menace in Michigan

It’s not hard to be accused of being a Menace in Michigan

“You are a menace, you’re talking louder than me, you don’t agree with me and now you’re pointing at me with gun fingers. I feel threatened! I’m calling the police”.

All over a minor disagreement – probably about paper or plastic.

Police arrive and can only do what they do best. Arrest the person who didn’t call first or who isn’t performing better as the victim.

You are now charged with Michigan law MCL 750-411h and/or MCL 750-540.

You are a menace to society and will be treated as such.

When you say to the police this person was physically assaulting (MCL 750-81) you as you were trying to leave and blocked you in unlawfully imprisoning ( MCL 750-349b) you with their car (considered a dangerous weapon). The so called victim just screams louder as the performance escalates…

The police now add the charge of resisting arrest MCL 750-81d cause you objected and questioned the reason for your arrest and then you stepped left instead of right disobeying their command.

You’re lucky they didn’t throw more charges at you. Makes easier to get you to plead to a lower charge. Less work.

You are now listed as a threat to law enforcement prompting extreme measures and cautions when you have another encounter. You are a menace.

BTW the “victim” is recording everything to post on their you tube and tik-tok to generate hits which generates cash. You are now a menace and a comodity to be shared and humiliated by the world.  Your photo is on their gofundme page seeking emotional safespace donations to get away for a few days and bury this nightmare with a bunch of alcohol by the pool.

You get scolded by the system and told “you should have just walked away, got in your car and left.”

You did and it’s all on tape. You were being filmed, assaulted and blocked from leaving by a nutball claiming they are the victim.

Good job menace – Your now an internet sensation and everybody hates you.

Meanwhile dealing with the courts and law enforcement trying to get documentation and evidence – the “just say no generation” is saying “NO” to your rights or “it’s an ongoing investigation”.

They deny FOIA requests, overcharge for everything and charge for services and documents you thought your tax dollars paid for and just making your life more difficult.

Lesson learned about the system.

You are a menace. What’s a menace to do? Submit and Obey and be labeled a menace in the document vault forever.

Hey menace… Make it easy and plead out. Pay the victim restitution, fines, service fees, convenience fees, the fees to cover the cost of fees, electronic transfer fees, court fees and parking fees.  Don’t worry about work loss, your fuel costs, finding a babysitter. Admit guilt and move on menace.

Pleading leads to a life sentance of being a menace

Fight back

If you don’t want to submit and plead and want to fight for your rights.  Call us here at Komorn Law (248) 357-2550.

We have defended these cases and similar with positive outcomes.

The only thing an opponent respects is strength.

TIP – Shut up, tape everything and stream it if you can. Leave ASAP. When the police come they are going to take whatever you got and turn it into evidence against you. Especially your words.

Being a Menace in Michigan – FAQs 

Menacing is a crime in Michigan that involves intentionally placing another person in fear of serious physical harm. It can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances of the offense.

What is menacing?

Menacing is defined in Michigan law as intentionally placing another person in reasonable fear of serious physical harm. This can be done through words, gestures, or actions. For example, menacing could include:

  • Threatening to harm someone
  • Displaying a weapon in a threatening manner
  • Following someone in a way that makes them feel unsafe
  • Sending threatening messages or emails

What are the penalties for menacing?

Menacing is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. However, if the menacing is aggravated, it can be charged as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Aggravated menacing is defined as menacing that is committed:

  • Against a protected person, such as a police officer, firefighter, or healthcare worker
  • With a dangerous weapon
  • By someone who has been previously convicted of a crime of violence

What should I do if I am being menaced?

If you are being menaced, the most important thing is to stay safe. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are not in immediate danger, but you are still feeling threatened, you should report the menacing to the police. You should also keep a record of all threats and incidents of menacing, so that you can have evidence to support your case if you need to go to court.

Links to Michigan laws regarding menacing:

Q: What is the difference between menacing and assault?

A: Assault is the act of intentionally threatening or attempting to harm someone. Menacing is the act of intentionally placing someone in fear of serious physical harm. The key difference is that assault requires a threat or attempt to harm someone, while menacing only requires that someone be placed in fear of harm.

Q: What is the difference between menacing and stalking?

A: Stalking is a pattern of behavior that is intended to harass, intimidate, or threaten someone. Menacing can be a part of stalking, but it is not the same thing. Stalking is a more serious crime, and it can be charged even if the victim is not in immediate fear of harm.

Q: I am being menaced by my ex-partner. What can I do?

A: If you are being menaced by your ex-partner, you should report the menacing to the police and seek a restraining order. A restraining order can prohibit your ex-partner from contacting you or coming near you. You may also want to consider moving to a new location or changing your phone number.

Q: I am being menaced by a stranger. What can I do?

A: If you are being menaced by a stranger, you should stay safe and report the menacing to the police. You should also try to get a description of the stranger, so that the police can look for them. If you are followed, try to go to a public place or call 911.

MI Democrats: Give driver licenses to undocumented immigrants

MI Democrats: Give driver licenses to undocumented immigrants

Undocumented immigrants could obtain a Michigan driver license or state identification card under Democratic legislation that sponsors hope to make law this year.

Supporters say that giving more illegal immigrants legal permission to drive to work, medical appointments or other functions without the threat of arrest or deportation is a matter of “human dignity” that would benefit the economy, including farmers who rely on seasonal labor.

“It is not the state government’s purview or job to fix our broken immigration system,” House Majority Floor Leader Abraham Aiyash, D-Hamtramck, said.

 

“We’re not going to wait for the federal government to act to make sure that all Michiganders are going to be safe.”

Advocates argue that House bills 4410-4412 and Senate bills 265-267 would help protect people on the roads.

A lack of legal documentation can prompt drivers to flee the scene of an accident or their broken-down car out of fear of deportation.

“My colleagues and I will do everything we can to make sure that we have the votes that are necessary to get these bills passed and signed into law,” Senate Civil Rights Committee Chair Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit, told reporters. 

“There’s not an apple, blueberry, asparagus, turkey, egg (farm) that this legislation wouldn’t help,” said Rob Steffens. “Our people want to follow the law, but they can’t.”
