In a blog post from a few day's ago, I wrote how the DEA Attempted To Break Marijuana Privacy Policy. On Tuesday, the advocates for the privacy provisions of the state's medical marijuana law were in court trying to throw out a federal subpoena requesting information for multiple card owners. The DEA is requesting all kinds of information related to that was supposed to be completely private information.
Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette will release the information as long he is guaranteed immunity from the consequences of his actions. It is well known that Schuette opposes the current medical marijuana law.
Jamie Lowell, from the Michigan Department of Community Health, said "When you get the application, you are under the impression all of the information will remain confidential, people aren’t going to have that peace of mind, and they’ll think twice.”
The Federal Government disagrees with Lowell's statement and Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bruha stated that the advocates of the law have built a case on what he called "rather vague confidentiality conditions. Overall the government feels that MACC has no business interfering in a legal dispute between state and federal authorities.
I'm sick and tired of hearing the same thing in the news everyday. When is the State of Michigan going to stand up and uphold the law that over 60% of Michigan voters passed? For now, keep looking over your shoulder.
