New Montana bill: immediate medmj revocation if over 1oz/6 plants

By "Radical" Russ Belville on February 9, 2009


This just in from Montana Patients and Families United‘s Tom Daubert:

HOUSE BILL NO. 473

INTRODUCED BY T. BERRY

A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: “AN ACT REVISING THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAWS; PROVIDING FOR THE DENIAL OF A REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARD TO A QUALIFYING PATIENT OR CAREGIVER WHO HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY DRUG OFFENSE; CLARIFYING THAT POSSESSION OF EXCESS MARIJUANA IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND THAT REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARDS ARE REVOKED UPON CONVICTION; PROVIDING THAT THE PROTECTION OF A PHYSICIAN DOES NOT APPLY IN CASES OF NEGLIGENCE OR COLLUSION; PROVIDING THAT A REGISTRY IDENTIFICATION CARD ISSUED BY ANOTHER JURISDICTION SUBJECTS THE HOLDER TO THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND RESTRICTIONS OF MONTANA LAW

A qualifying patient and that qualifying patient’s caregiver may not possess more than six marijuana plants and 1 ounce of usable marijuana each. If a qualifying patient or a qualifying patient’s caregiver possesses more than six marijuana plants and 1 ounce of usable marijuana each, the offending party may be arrested, prosecuted, and penalized as provided in Titles 44 through 46. In addition, the offending party’s registry information card is immediately revoked and has no further legal force or effect.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.

    A single oz. When it takes months to grow medical pot, how the hell is a patient supposed to make one ounce last? It’s like giving someone a dozen aspirin and telling them to make it last 4 months.

    Does a felony conviction in MT exclude you from other pain killers like oxycontin or hydrocodone?
