NO WARRANT NO SEARCH! HOLLAND MAN WINS! SUPREME COURT TOSSES CASE!
Laketown Township —
Charges from 2008 against a Holland man will be thrown out after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled Friday police illegally entered his home.
Angel Moreno Jr. refused to let Holland police into his home without a warrant in December 2008. The officers were looking for a suspect they believed was in the home.
A police report said officers smelled “burning or burnt marijuana” when a woman answered the door. The woman admitted minors were drinking alcohol in the residence.
Moreno tried to close the door, but one officer pushed his shoulder against the door, keeping it from closing, according to court documents.
An officer suffered a torn hamstring and bruised elbow in the struggle that followed, and Moreno was charged with resisting and obstructing a police officer causing injury.
State Supreme Court justices ruled the officers’ conduct was unlawful.
Why hasn’t Obama called off the federal war on marijuana?
One of the more mystifying aspects of Barack Obama’s presidency is the man’s resistance to changing public attitudes — and changes in state and local laws — regarding marijuana.
Polls show that most Americans favor legalization of pot, and studies show that such a step would save tens of billions of dollars annually expended to enforce laws against the stuff.
Then, too, there’s the matter of how such enforcement strains the criminal justice system, complicates efforts to curb the abuse of more dangerous drugs and creates significant hassles for people arrested on marijuana charges.
Simply stated, pot prohibition has been a colossal failure.
But the president remains OBSTINATE on the issue:
President Barack Obama has turned out to be a real buzzkill.
Back when he was running in 2008, Obama said he supported the “basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs” and that he was “not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws.” He didn’t go farther. But he also didn’t do anything to dissuade speculation among medical marijuana proponents who took this as a sign that the man headed to the Oval Office was on their side.
Four years later, the raids on drug dispensaries have kept up — despite a Justice Department memo formalizing low-enforcement priority instructions from Attorney General Erick Holder, who announced in a March 2009 press conference that the raids would stop on distributors who were in compliance with state and local law. Obama never said anything about supporting legalization or decriminalization, but his medical marijuana statements were enough to get him heralded by some in the larger pro-pot community as the best hope for chipping away at the decades-long drug war.
But the hopes that Obama would be a kinder, gentler, more tolerant drug warrior have gone up in smoke.

LETS GET IT TOGETHER! STOP MAKING US LOOK BAD!
JACKSON, MI -- A 48-year-old Leoni Township man was arraigned this week on two drug charges after police searched his property last week and found a marijuana grow operation, heroin and a large amount of items believed to be stolen.
Matthew Jon Lapham remained Tuesday in the Jackson County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
The county magistrate arraigned him Monday by video from the jail. He is charged with two felony counts of possessing with intent to deliver drugs.
More charges could come later.
Authorities suspect Lapham is involved in an extensive “fencing operation,” buying and selling stolen goods, Blackman-Leoni Township public safety Deputy Director Jon Johnston said last week.
Police on Thursday searched his property in the 300 block of Sutton Road off E. Michigan Avenue.
Johnston was not specific about what police found but said officers seized property worth thousands.
The sheriff’s office had been narrowing in on him for more than a year.
Lapham started by transmitting dead or open air, Undersheriff Chris Kuhl said. Later, he would make statements that often were derogatory, Kuhl said.
It is a misdemeanor to intentionally interfere with police radio communications, Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer said last week, but the prosecutor's office had not yet reviewed the case for any possible radio-related charges.
In a letter addressed in May 2010 to Matthew J. Lapham, the Federal Communications Commission warned Lapham not to operate radio transmitting equipment without valid FCC authorization.
The commission said information indicated he had periodically been operating under an amateur radio call sign licensed to Matthew A. Lapham of Louisiana, who was serving in the U.S. Air Force in Iraq, according to the letter, found on the FCC website.
In the past, Lapham has been convicted in Jackson County of misdemeanor larceny and assault charges, a felony breaking and entering offense and a firearm crime, according to online court records.
Are medical marijuana restrictions justified? Jackson City Council considers issue
JACKSON, MI -- Medical marijuana always seems to evoke strong opinions.A proposed medical marijuana ordinance going before the Jackson City Council Tuesday night is doing just that.
The ordinance would eliminate medical marijuana dispensaries, which provide marijuana.
Some, such as CitizenXGen, said that doesn't make sense:
Imagine if your pharmacist told you you have to manufacture your own medication? You have to be a chemist, buy the expensive equipment, laboratory machines, etc. In this case, the patients would be, in theory, forced to buy lights, timers, aeration equipment, soils, fertilizers, clones, seeds, air conditioners, etc…all costing thousands of dollars not to mention the electricity bills.
DrugRaider said abuse of Michigan's medical marijuana law makes the ordinance necessary:
I support this ordinance to ban these dispensaries! They are all a joke and dispense medical marijuana cards to people that 1) don't even see a doctor and 2) people that don't have real medical conditions. I know this for a fact because my 18 year old child has obtained a card and I can gaurantee you he has no medical issues that would require this card!
deidzoeb said the pros of medical marijuana outweigh the cons:
This is so simple. The benefit of people who can be helped by marijuana for legit medical purposes drastically outweighs the potential harm of people using pot for recreational purposes. If the city council wants to clamp down on something harmful, try alcohol. Do a search of Mlive for "pot" or "marijuana" to find how many people have died in this area in the last 24 hours from toking and driving. Then search "alcohol". Yesterday must have been a good day -- you have to look as far away as Plainwell north of Kzoo to find someone dying in a crash with alcohol as a suspected contributing factor. This is not rocket science.
What do you think? Should the Jackson City Council place restrictions on medical marijuana to prevent abuse? Or would such action be an unnecessary burden for medical marijuana patients?
Breaking Down the Medicinal Value of Sativas
In today’s age of medical marijuana, government propaganda is all but dead. The more you know about your medicine, the more effective it can be.
By Greg Green
The scientific evidence for the medicinal value of cannabis is so well documented in the peer-reviewed literature that the case for cannabis as medicine is now firmly established. As a result, if someone says that cannabis medicine is a joke, the proper 21st century reply is: “You are welcome to your unsupported opinion, but the scientific evidence for cannabis as medicine is overwhelming.” Referring that person to Google Scholar – a database of scientific, peer-reviewed articles that constitutes the best reference for anyone ignorant on this subject – will return over 50,000 peer-reviewed articles alone. The first couple hundred scientific papers address the topic directly. All of them confirm that, yes, cannabis is a medicine. For the naysayers, it is simply game over.
Cannabis Types
These days, we are more concerned with how cannabis works as medicine and what the various treatment types and options are. Also, many medical users wish to be fully self-sufficient; this means not obtaining their medical marijuana by any other means except cultivating and preparing it themselves. For many first-time users, however, questions arise with respect to which type of cannabis they need to grow. To answer that question, we must first understand that cannabis is a genus of its own in the plant kingdom. Its taxonomic nomenclature (or scientific name) is actually Cannabis sativa L., which (confusingly enough, for newcomers) has three distinct species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis.
However, there are really only two types to choose from when growing cannabis for medicine, indica or sativa (ruderalis is a hardy, hempy, low-potency species not typically grown for ingestion), and both are grown quite differently and with different results. So the medical user must first decide which type is going to be more beneficial. Fortunately, they don’t really have to become an expert on the ins and outs of cannabis botany or biochemistry to find the right type for them: Simply sampling both – and different varieties of each – can be enough. Many medical marijuana outlets have plenty of samples to choose from, so when the medical user finds the strain they need, they can then begin to examine their self-sufficiency options with that strain, assuming it’s available in seed or clone form.

Parole absconder from Chicago charged in Holland drive-by shooting
OTTAWA COUNTY, MI-- A 22-year-old Chicago man arrested Wednesday on a warrant from Illinois now faces charges in West Michigan after police say he was involved in a drive-by shooting in Holland last month.
Ladale Antonio Brassel was taken into custody Wednesday for being a parole absconder and was found to be in possession of marijuana.
Further investigation showed Brassel was involved with a March 20 drive-by shooting in the 100 block of East 21st Street.
Police responded at about 9:25 p.m. that day after witnesses said at least 7 rounds were fired from a gray minivan into a group of people standing in front of a residence. No one was struck or injured.
Brassel faces charges in Ottawa County of being a felon in possession of a firearm and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.
Police say an argument that occurred the night before the shooting was likely a motivating factor, but specifics of the disagreement are not clear because of a lack of cooperation from those present.
Brassel remains lodged in the Ottawa County jail on a $102,000 cash bond.

Sloppy law snags another medical pot user
One of this column's cardinal principles is that the people who make Michigan's laws should be held accountable when their work is substandard -- even when the lawmakers in question are the people themselves. And so, on behalf of the 3 million other voters who joined with me to adopt the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act of 2008, I'd like to apologize to medical marijuana users who mistakenly believed the law would protect them from criminal prosecution. In practice, of course, it has done nothing of the sort. And while a good deal of the blame lies with sanctimonious politicians who were determined from the get-go to undermine the medical marijuana law, those of us who supported this sloppily drafted public initiative also bear a share of the responsibility. The latest medical marijuana user to learn firsthand just how badly those who wrote the MMMA botched the job is one Rodney Lee Koon. The 50-year-old Koon was doing 83 m.p.h. in a 55-m.p.h. zone when police in Grand Traverse County pulled him over and discovered, via a blood test, that he had THC -- the chemical compound found in marijuana -- in his system. Although no one contended that Koon was discernibly impaired, Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Alan Schneider charged him under the zero-tolerance provision of Michigan's impaired driving statute, which forbids motorists with even a trace amount of THC in their bloodstreams from operating a motor vehicle. The 0% test Koon, a registered medical marijuana user whose physician had prescribed therapeutic doses of the drug to alleviate pain and nausea arising from a closed head injury, seemed exactly the sort of patient Michigan voters had sought to immunize from prosecution when they approved the MMMA by a lopsided margin. A district court judge dismissed the charge against him, arguing that his registration as a medical marijuana patient precluded his prosecution unless prosecutors could prove that he was actually affected by the amount of marijuana he admitted to smoking five or six hours before his traffic stop. But this week, in a unanimous decision reinstating the criminal charge against Koon, three Michigan Court of Appeals judges noted that the MMMA explicitly allows for prosecution of medical marijuana users who drive "under the influence" of the drug. If voters intended "under the influence" to mean something more lenient than the zero-tolerance standard prescribed by state legislators, the judges agreed, they should have adopted a law that explicitly said so. So shame on us for approving language that afforded opponents of medical marijuana --including Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, whose office submitted a brief supporting the reinstatement of criminal charges against Koon -- such an irresistible opening to subvert our good intentions. A public safety issue? Of course, the Court of Appeals' conclusion that nothing in the MMMA specifically forbids Koon's prosecution doesn't make that prosecution good public policy. If police who interrogated Koon observed nothing to indicate he was impaired, I asked prosecutor Schneider on Wednesday, why throw the book at him? "To me, it's a public safety issue," the prosecutor replied. Determining when a person is medically impaired by marijuana is tricky, he conceded; "there just isn't a lot of good scientific literature." But he said that Michigan is among a majority of states that make driving with any trace of THC in one's bloodstream a crime, and that's good enough for him. "The limit for alcohol is .08," he noted. "A seasoned alcoholic with a high tolerance may not really be impaired at 1.0 -- but I'm still going to charge him." But people who drink know that, as a rule, they can metabolize one serving of alcohol in about an hour. How long after using medical marijuana, I asked Schneider, should a registered user wait before getting behind the wheel? "I don't know what the time period is," the prosecutor conceded. "People are going to have to figure that out for themselves." Contact Brian Dickerson: 313-222-6584 or bdickerson@freepress.com

After drug bust, suspect intentionally crashes into 3 undercover police vehicles
GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Police say a suspect intentionally crashed into three undercover police vehicles today as officers executed a search warrant at a Northwest Side Grand Rapids home.
The Metropolitan Enforcement Team was searching for "controlled substances" at 734 Fremont Ave. NW. As they went to enter the home, two suspects emerged and got into a GMC Envoy in an attempt to escape, authorities said.
Two unmarked police vehicles were ready to pursue the suspect, but the car reversed gear and intentionally crashed into one of the cars, which resulted in a chain-reaction crash -- damaging another unmarked police vehicle and side swiping an unmarked police van.
The suspects continued to flee, but ran into an embankment in their SUV. Both fled, and one was caught, but the other remained on the loose. A police officer said that law enforcement has a "pretty good idea" of who the remaining suspect is.
Names and descriptions of the suspects were not released.
State Police Lt. Chris McIntire said marijuana and cocaine were a "good guess" of what the investigative team was looking for.
He would not specify how long officers had pursued this investigation or what tipped them off to the whereabouts of the suspects.
Another officer said a gun was found in the suspect's SUV.
Two officers received minor injuries, McIntire said, but they will be fine.
The suspects will receive charges related to the obtained narcotics and felonious assault with a deadly weapon due to the intentional crash of the SUV into the undercover police vehicles.
"I heard a crash, and the two guys in the Envoy were gone," said Justin Fabela, who lives in the neighborhood. "The cops came out of nowhere. They did a good job -- bad guys and guns are off the street."
He said he had no idea the house was home to illegal activities. He had waved hello several times to people he had seen at the home.
"Last I knew, two best friends lived there," Fabela said.

Michigan's medical marijuana law is no protection for drivers, appellate court says
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Users of medical marijuana cannot legally drive if they have any amount of the drug in their systems, the state Court of Appeals said in a ruling issued this morning.
The appellate court said the state’s “zero tolerance” law, which prevents motorists from operating a vehicle with any amount of a Schedule 1 controlled substance in their body, still applies for drivers who legally use medical marijuana.
The ruling came in a Grand Traverse County case in which Prosecutor Alan Schneider charged Rodney Koon with driving under the influence.
A circuit judge upheld a district judge’s ruling that jurors in Koon’s trial would not be told that any presence of marijuana in Koon’s system would be enough to convict.
The circuit judge ruled that the medical marijuana law superseded the zero-tolerance law.
Schneider also disagreed with the judges’ rulings that, under the medical marijuana law, he had to prove the driver was under the influence of the drug. State law prohibits any amount of marijuana in a motorist’s body.
According to the ruling, police stopped Koon for driving 83 mph in a 55-mph zone. Koon admitted to drinking one beer after an officer detected intoxicants, and admitted he used marijuana five or six hours earlier. He told the officer he had a medical marijuana card.
A blood test showed he had active THC in his system.
The appeals panel – David Sawyer, Peter O’Connell and Amy Ronayne Krause – said the medical marijuana law recognized circumstances where medical marijuana use would be not permitted.
“One of those exceptions specifically states that the protections will not apply to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana. … This is certainly not an irrational provision. For example, it is not uncommon for a medication, whether prescription or over the counter, to be accompanied by a warning not to drive while using the medication.”
The problem is, the medical marijuana law doesn’t define “under the influence of marijuana,” the justices wrote.
“What we are left with is the (medical marijuana law), which affords a certain degree of immunity from prosecution for possession or use of marijuana for a medical purpose, and the Michigan Motor Vehicle Code, which prohibits operating a motor vehicle while there is any amount of marijuana in the driver’s system.”
It said the medical marijuana law, or legislators, could have rescheduled marijuana from a Schedule 1 controlled substance.
The court said that the medical marijuana law didn’t create a right to use marijuana, but provided protection from prosecution for possessing an illegal drug.
Koon contended that he had the “right” to “internally possess” marijuana, and, if he didn’t break any laws, could go about his “day-to-day activites, including operating a vehicle.
The medical marijuana law was supported by 63 percent of voters in 2008.
The justices called the medical marijuana law an "inartfully drafted act."

Unruly Subway customer has pot seized when he couldn't show current medical marijuana card
HASTINGS, MI -- Police seized a man’s marijuana after he refused to leave a Subway Shop and complained about the way his salad was made.
Hastings police received a call at about 8:45 on April 9 about an “unruly” customer at a Hastings Subway.
A man admitted to causing a commotion at the store because his salad was not made properly. The man said he had previously worked at a Subway establishment. He then said he got into an argument with store personnel after he was told he smelled of marijuana.
The man left the store as police arrived, where he said he was tired of people making comments about his medical marijuana card.
He then presented Hastings police with a medical marijuana card that expired 40 days before. The man then showed officers a jar of “suspected marijuana” from his vehicle.
He was unable to prove any renewal application had been submitted to the state, but said his medical marijuana provider paid his application fee and mailed his paperwork.
Hastings police then seized the substance, and told the man without proof of proper paperwork, formal charges would be filed.
The incident remains under investigation.

3 MEN BEAT MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT, JUDGE DENIES BOND! GOOD!
BAY CITY, MI — Three relatives charged with severely beating a man outside a Bangor Township bar waved to their children and family today as they sat in court this morning, repeatedly exchanging I-love-you's.
Victor A. Corpuz, 24, brother Michael G. Corpuz III, 27, and cousin Jose J. Gutiérrez, 27, appeared before Bay County District Judge Mark E. Janer for a preliminary examination, sitting side-by-side, shackled in orange, jail-issued jumpsuits. Janer adjourned the hearing at the request of attorney Edward M. Czuprynski, saying he just received new information pertaining to the case and needs more time to review it. Czuprynski is representing all three defendants.
Prior to seeking the adjournment, Czuprynski asked the judge to reduce the bond for the three men, which was set at $250,000 cash-surety. The attorney disputed some records of the trio’s previous convictions in other states and said they are not flight risks.
All three have only lived in Bay County for a short time, having moved here from California. By being held in jail, the Corpuzes are at risk of losing their jobs at an area restaurant, Czuprynski said.
“We’re opposed to any bond reductions,” said Bay County Assistant Prosecutor J. Dee Brooks. “We believe bond was reasonably and appropriately set at the time of arraignment.”
Brooks added that the trio’s previous convictions are for assaultive crimes, that they share a history of substance abuse and are a “threat and danger to the community.”
Janer ordered the bond remain the same.
The early morning of April 4, the Corpuzes and Gutiérrez were at My Bar, 3395 Old Kawkawlin Road. Around closing time, prosecutors allege they attacked 37-year-old Dustin Hnilica leaving the bar, a person unknown to them prior to the incident.
Hnilica was attempting to drive away when Victor Corpuz got into the passenger side of his car and started punching him, police said. The three men then pulled Hnilica from his car and continued to punch and kick him, Hnilica later told Bay County sheriff’s deputies.
According to witness statements, “at least two of the individuals were saying, ‘Kill him, kill him,’” Brooks said today.
Deputies arrested the three men at the scene. Hnilica, a medical marijuana patient, told deputies the trio approached him after smelling marijuana on him.
Deputies have said they found Hnilica’s money clip and medical marijuana on the suspects or in their vehicle.
Brooks said Hnilica still requires surgery to mend broken facial bones and is having difficulty getting around. He added that the Corpuzes and Gutierrez may face additional charges to the single counts of unarmed robbery, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and possession of marijuana they already face.
The preliminary examination is now slated for 1:30 p.m. on May 2.
