For today's weed news we go to the great state of Michigan.
For some strange reason the Michigan legislature just started putting rules on cannabis-related words.
As a matter of fact, the word "dispensary" is now banned in the state of Michigan.
David Harns, a spokesperson for the Michigan Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation explains that the new regulations around language are supposed to clarify things for patients.
Harns was recently quoted saying "It's not really a change, it's more of a clarification... State law has always said that public health code defines who can use the term dispensary and all other words we put in the advisory."
Instead of the term "dispensary" people are now supposed to start saying "medical marijuana provisioning center".
Not everyone in the state agrees that this makes sense.
David Mangone from Americans for Safe Use recently said that "While changing the use of 'dispensary' to 'medical marijuana provisioning center' is a minor one, it could create confusion for patients depending on what the state decides to call facilities that end up participating in the adult use market."
To me this sounds like a bunch of irrelevant BS. It reminds me of when you used to have to say 'tobacco water pipe' instead of 'bong' at head shops.
Who cares what you call it. And can somebody please explain to me how this fits within our right to freedom of speech?
