Dispensers say Md. is great market for medical marijuana

Companies that are a step closer to dispensing medical marijuana in Maryland are eager to move forward.

The president of a company that's a step closer to dispensing medical marijuana in Maryland thinks the state is a great market for the industry and that the perception of pot can change.

Maryland's medical marijuana industry took a big step forward last week by pre-approving 102 companies to dispense the drug.

Leah Heise is a pioneer. The former attorney for the federal government set up a company that is among the first to get a license to give approved patients in Maryland marijuana in a variety of forms to address a variety of illnesses.

"For example, if you have arthritis, you might decide you want a topical, so you might use a cream you rub into your hands," Heise said.

So, a guy who railed against drugs and used his power to imprison people for marijuana crimes (YEARS in prison....) is now a player in the SALE of marijuana??? I see it didn't take much for HIM to get a license.....among the first ones, too.
I've told you before, it's people like him who make the drug trade possible.
The ones who look the other way, give insider tips to traffickers, protect and finance shipments, launder the money (you think some kid in the ghetto has 30 million and a place to run that much money??), and eliminate rivals.
It's NOT about morals, or ethics. They don't have of either one. He just proved it.
It's about MONEY.
If selling drugs is a moneymaker, then it's game on for these hypocrites.
Integrity level? ZERO.

you boneheads, do some actual RESEARCH about CBD oil instead of repeating the false crap the gubnit has been telling you your whole lives.There are 160+- compounds in cannabis, THC (the stuff that gets you high) is just one of them.

there really IS medical benefits to be had using pot. Why else would you think the gubnit has TWO patents on it? Personally, I don't like smoking it but I will be trying the oil and maybe some edibles.

And I will be willing to bet it will do more for me than the YEARS I have been taking gubnit approved medications. And that my friends is what I believe gubnit and the big drug companies are afraid of, lost revenue from lost customers. (Notice I said customers, NOT patients)

Let me bore you with a couple facts, the state of Mississippi is the ONLY state in the union that is ALLOWED to grow pot currently for research. There are several people in the U.S. that the gubnit supplies with pot and has been for decades. (for medical treatment)

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to search on the internet and find these factoids for yourselves and learn something instead of the regurgitated nonsense feeds you.

Bonus points for sharing OTHER facts about this you will also find. Happy hunting.

go read up on the tenth amendment, and the constitution in general.

Today, the Constitution remains the most important guide to all parts of government. It is often called the "highest law of the land." This means that no state, no branch of government, no person, no elected official--not even the president or Congress--can make a law or enforce a condition that goes against the Constitution. The Constitution continues to protect the rights and freedoms of American citizens.

The first principle is that government is created by and gets its power from the people. This idea is called popular sovereignty. The Declaration of Independence had stated this idea clearly when it said: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
"We the People" are the first words of the Constitution and are written larger than any thing else. The writers wanted to emphasize that the ability to set up and start a new government came from the people of the United States.

A second principle is federalism. The Constitution divides power, giving some power to the central or national government and some power to state governments. The Constitution lists things the national or federal government can do; these are delegated powers. The Constitution lists things which the national government and the state governments cannot do. Some powers, like collecting taxes, are concurrent, powers that both the national and state governments can exercise.

The Constitution doesn't list all the powers of the states. Article 1 prohibits or forbids the states to do certain things such as make its own money, declare war on another country, or make treaties with another country. Amendment 10 of the Constitution then states that powers not given to the national government and not forbidden to the states are reserved to the states.

Another main idea or principle in the Constitution is separation of powers. The first three Articles divide

the national government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. The writers of the Constitution did not want one part of government to become too powerful.
In addition to dividing power into three branches, the writers were careful to add checks and balances to the Constitution. Each branch of government has some limits placed on it by another branch. For example, Congress--the legislative branch-- makes all laws. But Congress can't make laws which go against the Constitution, and the Supreme Court--the judicial branch-- can declare a law unconstitutional.

No one part of government shall have total control over another. Checks and balances. The constitution is the highest law of the land. Hope this helps.

So much negativity and self-defeatism. Typical eastern shore man. No one needs to hold you down, you do a fine job all by yourself.
