Assistant prosecutor discusses concerns with medical marijuana
Nov 29, 2009 Online Issue
According to one of Macomb County’s drug prosecutors, Michigan’s marijuana laws are starting to create some unforeseen problems.
Bill Dailey, Macomb County assistant prosecutor and chief of the department’s drug unit, visited with the Northwest Zero Tolerance Coalition on Nov. 12 to discuss growing drugs trends as seen by his office and what can be done about them.
One issue he said that continues to concern him is the use of medical marijuana.
“People’s opinions are changing a little bit, it seems like, in the state about marijuana,” said Dailey. “It is causing, in my opinion, a strain on our uniformed personnel because they are out there now, they are recovering marijuana on their traffic stops or they are recovering when doing a trash pull on a suspected marijuana house. It is very, very difficult for them or for us to find out if these folks have a medical marijuana card.”
