Our Vision: Michigan’s public health system fosters equitable health and wellbeing as it adapts to the current and future impacts of climate change.
Our Mission: The Michigan Climate and Health Adaptation Program (MICHAP) supports a climate resilient public health system by investigating climate-driven health risks, identifying information for decision-making across sectors, and collaboratively implementing climate adaptation strategies.
Michigan’s new growth plan: Sacrifices must be made for the environment and team.
Last week Michigan Chief Growth Officer Hilary Doe described immigration as the green line in Michigan’s population story, the one number going up, besides prices, inflation, real estate, groceries, taxes, fees, fees for fees, convience fees, registrations, regulatory fees, utilities, interest rates, school loans, etc, etc, etc.
But A SEMCOG report last year found that 14,012 people aged 64 or younger left Southeast Michigan each year between 2010 and 2019, while 14,737 foreigners arrived annually. It’s 2024. It’s a stunning and brave new world – who cares about 2010-2019.
Statewide, immigration “helps offset our out-migration a little bit,” Doe said.
Doh is right… A little bit? Why are they leaving a climate haven is the question and why all of the sudden are Michigan citizens asked to let strangers into their homes to live.
Yes “sponsor” a family. Let’s start at your house.
In 2020, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer created the Office of Global Michigan.
And now that office is asking Michiganders to ignore common sense and serve as sponsors to refugees. Sounds like a win win.

The Controlled Substance Act of 1970 classified the plant cannabis, which was historically classified as either marijuana or hemp, as an illegal drug, a Schedule I controlled substance with a high potential for abuse and no FDA-approved medical use in the United States.
For more than 50 years, hundreds of thousands of people were arrested and imprisoned for possessing it.
317,793 Americans are arrested annually for possession of marijuana. Easy Target – Easy Money.
The Farm Bill of 2018 changed this straightforward classification of cannabis. The bill legalized the form of cannabis classified as hemp, while the form classified as marijuana remained illegal.
The task of determining the distinction has been assigned to law enforcement and forensic laboratories, a responsibility that has proven to be challenging, time-consuming, and costly.
Federally funded researchers have made significant advancements in accurately distinguishing between marijuana and hemp by precisely analyzing the THC levels found in flower and edibles.
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), an entity within the “Justice” Department, is actively promoting the results of two research projects that it funded, both centered around cannabis lab testing. These findings are now being shared exclusively with select law enforcement agencies.
The aim of the initiatives was to streamline the testing process in order to address the increasing crime lab backlogs caused by the federal legalization of hemp with up to 0.3 percent THC under the 2018 Farm Bill.
This legalization has complicated cannabis-related cases, and thus the initiatives were implemented to help resolve these challenges.

Current testing methods are unable to accurately determine the exact amount of THC in a sample, as stated in the recent update by NIJ. However, the researchers they have funded have achieved a significant breakthrough.
Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and direct analysis in real time-high-resolution mass spectrometry (DART-HRMS), they are now able to isolate the THC content, along with other cannabinoids.
This discovery marks a significant advancement in our ability to analyze and understand the composition of cannabis samples.
In the government, everything is go spend more money and if that doesn’t work, it’s go spend more money and if that doesn’t work spend more money and so on and so on.

Recreational marijuana has been legalized in Ohio as voters overwhelmingly approved State Issue 2 on Tuesday. This groundbreaking decision now enables adults in Ohio to legally experience the advantages of marijuana for recreational purposes.
“Marijuana is no longer a controversial issue,” said Tom Haren, spokesman for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, which gathered petitions to put the issue on the ballot.“
Ohioans demonstrated this by passing State Issue 2 in a landslide. Ohioans are being extremely clear on the future they want for our state: adult-use marijuana legal and regulated.”
Issue 2 permits adults 21 and over to legally use and grow marijuana, starting on Dec. 7, according to Haren.
With all precincts counted, the final, unofficial results from the Ohio Secretary of State indicate that the vote was 56.97% in favor of the measure and 43.03% against it.
The new law expands legal use beyond the medical marijuana law approved by the Ohio Legislature in 2016.
Opponents of Issue 2 included public health and mental health advocates, law enforcement, business groups, and stakeholders who expressed concerns about the potential health risks associated with marijuana.
They argued that legalizing this drug could result in marijuana companies becoming unjustly enriched, while also exposing children to potential risks. Additionally, opponents highlighted concerns that legalization may heighten the likelihood of crime, workplace injuries, and dangerous driving conditions.
Issue 2 will:

Would enforcing payment and accepting money from a federally illegal business cause you to be caught up in RICO, CCE and conspiracy charges that would put you away for decades? For you yes – For the government a big NO.
Multistate marijuana company Trulieve Cannabis Corp. is currently seeking a federal tax refund amounting to $143 million. The company firmly maintains that it does not owe the taxes it had diligently paid over a span of three years.
“This determination is supported by legal interpretations that challenge the company’s tax liability under Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code,” Florida-based Trulieve announced through a recent news release.
Section 280E poses a significant obstacle for state-legal marijuana companies, as it prohibits them from deducting their standard business expenses. Consequently, these companies are burdened with substantially increased tax bills.
