Michigan bill would ban medical marijuana bars March 3, 2011 - Associated Press
LANSING (AP) -- A bill in the Michigan Senate would ban marijuana bars and clubs that have opened since voters approved use of the drug for medical purposes in 2008.
The Republican-led Senate Health Policy Committee passed the bill Thursday. The legislation advances to the Senate floor.
The bill defines the clubs and bars as places where medical marijuana is used for a fee.
Violations would be punishable by up to 90 days in jail with fines of up to $500.
Republican Sen. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge sponsors the bill and says people using medical marijuana shouldn't be driving right after they use it.
Marijuana club owners say they provide a key service.
There are pending court cases involving clubs that could set precedents for how they're allowed to operate.

 This dude is a dumbass.
Somewhere down his '"on-line" office' page it reads:
"I am reminded of a saying: Managers do things right. Leaders do the right things. Michigan needs leaders." -Sen. Rick Jones
I've never heard this saying before but I instantly despise it. The 'right things' that leaders supposedly do, implies an objective morality that presumably everyone agrees with. While on the other hand managers are doing things right, meaning accomplishing tasks in accordance to the initial intent. Managers are competent and 'leaders' are arrogant d-bags who cram their perspectives into universal legislation. Michigan does not need leaders. At least not ones that will go against what a clear majority voted for.
  I've burned your face into my memory. I hope I bump into you on the streets of Lansing so I can give you a piece of my mind concerning your ill informed perspective.
-------------------- A human race with more highly developed spiritual capacities, with expanded consciousness of the depth and the incomprehensible wonder of being, would also have greater understanding of and better consideration for the biological and material foundation of life on this earth, Above all, for Western people with their hypertrophied rationality, the development and expansion of a direct, emotional experience of reality, unobstructed by words and concepts, would be of evolutionary significance. Beginning to think is beginning to be undermined. To fall in hell or soar angelic, You need a pinch of psychedelic.

I demand to know why there is no down syndrome smiley.
Driving + weed = generally safe
Driving + weed + another intoxicating drug = possibly unsafe
Driving + weed + stupidity = possibly unsafe
Driving + weed + another intoxicating drug + stupidity = probably unsafe
Driving - weed = possible road rage
Senator Rick Jones - a world with weed = Dead senator a long ass time ago.
Any questions?

As a Michigan patient... I really don't care. I'd rather not be able to smoke at dispensaries than have cops waiting a block down the road to write owi's.
