Anyone from Maryland?

Dose anyone live in Maryland and use marijuana medicaly? I understand that if ya live in Maryland and ya get busted for Herb and you can prove that your usin Herb in a legitamit medical way they gotta take it into consideration at yer trial. -So pretty much it seems that they bust ya and then when ya can prove yer smokin for medical nessisity theyl take it into consideration and let ya go. Could anyone tell me if I got this rite? I looked it up and thats what the law looks like. -Anybody smokin in Maryland?

 

I have been wondering the same thing.

 

I live in Maryland, now all I need is some glaucoma.

 

Heya Lumpy-Last I heard Gov. Ehrlich had every intention of signing the medical mj bill. Very surprising from a Republican ;-), but his sister uses medically, so at least he seriously considered it. Whether the bill actually got to his desk from the Gen'l Ass'y, I don't know. Wish I'd paid more attention to the matter, but it's not gonna stop my lil' hobby in any event.

 

Blessins on Ya Herbal! I seen some very resonable real estate round there too. I wanna tryan getta li'l house there sometimes before Im too old. Do yas got a care giver provision where if ya cant grow someone can do it for ya? Thats what Id like to do. I dont wanna make somekinda great profit or nothin but as long as I could manage a humble life in a modest home Id be a happy camper. Do ya think they would let ya grow meds for bout 4 or 5 patients?

 

LOL, don't pack your bags just yet, amigo. There is some pretty reasonably priced real estate around here, but it tends to be in the worst areas. (Which is why I hafta try to micro-grow in an apartment...I'd love a place with more privacy.) And while I didn't pay much attention as to whether the bill was passed, I think that if it HAD I would probably have noticed. More than likely it died/was killed by the Assembly before it got to the governer's desk. (#%X$! politicians!) If there were provisions in the medical mj bill for growers, I don't know what they were, but the Baltimore Sun newspaper might have some info or articles archived on-line that you can check out: http://www.baltimoresun.com/ . I'll keep my ear to the ground, since I could easily be wrong. (And in this case I'd LOVE to be wrong and learn that it had actually passed!) Any info you have, or a web addy where I can read the bill's provisions, would be much appreciated, now that my curiosity is finally roused.

 

I was under the impression that the bill didnt legalize medical mj, just provided progressive defense for people busted. If you can prove a medical necessity, you will be fined instead of imprisoned. Which to me doesnt seem to be much different than the medical necessity precedents in Florida. A couple down here was busted with plants, and actually got the case acquitted because of medical necessity. Which set a court precedent in the state.

 

i live in maryland too and i know a friend of mines aunt who uses medicinal marijuana. im pretty sure she lives somewhere in baltimore too so im going to assume its legal

 

theyd have to give me medical morphine , free greenage , and welfare to get me to concider living in baltimore !!

 

ROFLMAO-right on makno. (No offense intended to any that live there.) I don't live there myself, it's just the closest big burg to me. But it is a fun place to visit, especially if ya know where to go.
I think Concealed may have just hit the nail on the head, though, regarding medical necessity. Sounds logical to me, anyway, and for sure it hasn't been legalized here. (But I can still dream of the day!) It seems to jibe with what Lumpy was reading as well. That's an interesting bit to know about FLA, too. Thanks.

 

Hey Howdy everyone! Thanks for lookin out. I was realy glad to hear bout Florida too. That could be a beter alternitave bein I got a bro there. For anyone who wants to check out what states doin what in the med Herb world check out International Cannagraphic, I got a thread there too, its called "Tryinna figure out relocation"and its in Dr Jays Med Forum. Sorry I dont know how to do links with my computer yet but if ya wannet to you could go to International Cannagraphic and check the Dr Jays Med Forum and find the Tryinna figure out relocation thread by HarelessCaveApe. Thanks alot Folks, Im not sure xactly what Im gonna do. It'd be great to do this and not have that li'l feelin somewhere down there that someones gonna bust in your door. Not that Im noidy alla time but damn it would be nice to be able to do this in the light of day! Id have aero gardens on my fukkin roof all threw the summer ! Its not easy on the Grankids either, I gotta tellem that -"Its not "bad" or a "sin" but its illegal and we gotta hide it".- Their proud of me and they love the pretty flowers but they cant tell anyone. Makes me feel dirty . Good thing we got plenty of Communion to lift the spirit. Thanks everyone and Blessins on yas all!

 

Although people have been let here, many people still go to prison for growing. The couple that I am speaking of were both AIDs patients. The husband got AIDs from a blood transfusion, and the gave it to his wife before he knew he had it. So I wouldn't come here if you are wanting to grow.. I would recommend CA or CO. Florida has a ton of smokers and growers, hydro shops, pipe shops, etc. But the laws are extremely harsh. 20 grams = felony. 1 plant = felony with up to 5 years in prison.

There's some info on medical necessity. I would imagine a good attorney could argue that case, given you have an actual condition. But it would be expensive as fuck.

 

Thanks for the web sites, gents. I'll hafta check 'em out this weekend. I'm just sorry I didn't have more concrete info about the whole matter to give ya Lumpy, but good luck with the whole matter. (Deserves a whole thread to itself!). Have yourselves a good T-Giving, and take care of yourselves. Hope to see ya 'round.
