We wait for Judge Reynolds’ ruling on the new medical marijuana law passed by the legislature that destroys access to cannabis in Montana. The new law’s effective date is midnight tonight, June 30. The ruling will determine whether an injunction will be granted and the law be kept from going into effect until the courts can examine the constitutionality of the new law more thoroughly.

So, what’s it going to be? Hacked up gardens, hidden mothers, and shock? Some mix of enjoined provisions and permitted provisions that will need to be sorted out in short order so to be compliant by midnight? Or, will it be a full injunction and celebration tempered by calculation – what to do next? Will an injunction mean federal guns, Montana’s constitution be damned?

The petition language for the referendum to stop the new law and place it on the 2012 ballot was approved on Tuesday. The next step is training for signature gatherers. The petition should be on the streets probably within a week. At the national level, petitions have been circulating this week directed at U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder has said the Obama administration will be clarifying federal policy on states with medical marijuana laws. The petitions encourage policy that has the feds back off and leave states to sort out this issue without their guns and the confusion they cause when they arrest citizens obeying their state laws.

The wager is that Holder’s announcement will come late Friday afternoon. Late Friday afternoon is when the White House makes announcements that they don’t want to get a lot of play during the news cycle. But whether that means good news or bad news for states with medical cannabis laws, don’t know.

But Montana has their own state announcement they’re awaiting.

It was no surprise to see indictments come down this week from the March raids, timed to the judge’s deliberations, just as the raids were timed to occur simultaneously with a vote in Senate Judiciary to table medical marijuana repeal. The efforts of the feds to pressure decision-making by our legislature and judiciary is off-the-charts shocking. They don’t even feel the need to be subtle. They are the source of the fear, scandal, and violence when it comes to medical marijuana in this state, not Montanans, whether one thinks all of them should have a card or not.

But we’ll get our ruling today.

What if the worst possibility came to pass (I don’t think it will) and the judge allowed the new law to go into effect?

What it would mean is a rough couple months, panicked patients, and a lot of people getting real quiet or out of town,

that is,

until we collect the signatures, put a stop to the law, and stare down the ignorant once more.

Colorado Medical Marijuana Laws Are Wrong

The State of Colorado permitted residents to open storefront dispensaries in order to supply patients with marijuana. Residents were permitted to operate growing operations and storefront dispensaries, which should be two separate entities. Many residents and non-residents flocked to open these businesses and invested many thousands of dollars and hours of hard labor. Some of us were involved prior to the explosion of the industry after the statement made by the President requesting the FDA back off of licensed medical marijuana operations.

Industry should be free to everyone, and this is part of what made America a great place to come and start a new life. We should be able to open as many businesses of the same type as possible. Eventually, the herd will be thinned out by competition and demand, not because the government decides they want to force certain small 'mom and pop' operations out of business.

August 1, 2010 was the deadline for applications to be submitted to the Department of Revenue. They charged outrageous fees, up to $18,000 for a license and then decided to change the regulations which permitted local governments to decide if they wanted to allow these type of businesses. This is my problem.... They take our money then allow local governments to change the laws and shut us down. Most of us, out of work construction workers, plumbers, electricians, etc.. are the people affected by these changes. We need to put the average hard-working person back to work. Afterall, we are/were the backbone of America.

These regulations also forced two independent businesses to merge. They forced the growing operations to partner with a single storefront. The storefront dispensary owners became the real owners of both businesses, which in my opinion is wrong. My grow operation was forced to close and I am now out of business. The dispensary however, is allowed to find a new grow location and remain in business. Why am I out of business while they remain? When a person is permitted to open a business by the State, they should not be forced to close because of personal opinions of local city council members.

The Colorado Department of Revenue Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division is a major contributor to the regulations made in Colorado. Other states are trying to recruit some of their directors in order to help with their regulations. We can not let this happen! Their regulations are corrupt and wrong for this industry. We need common sense laws for this industry; I am prepared to provide a full plan on how we should regulate this industry properly so that it is fair for every American. We should not offer the opportunity to enter this business to the highest bidder, which Pennsylvania is proposing. This will only allow for more corruption.The State of Colorado permitted residents to open storefront dispensaries in order to... more
