Hearing in medical marijuana files case postponed by judge
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A judge in Grand Rapids has postponed a hearing to determine if the state of Michigan should cooperate with a federal subpoena seeking medical marijuana records.
The delay Wednesday was due to a last-minute request to intervene by a group called the Michigan Association of Compassion Clubs.
Federal drug investigators have served a subpoena on the state seeking information on certain people with medical marijuana or marijuana caregiver cards.
The Drug Enforcement Administration won’t talk about the Lansing-area probe but says it’s not cracking down on medical marijuana users. The agency says it pursues large-scale drug traffickers. The state says it will comply if there is a court order.
More than 45,000 people in Michigan are registered to use marijuana to ease the symptoms of cancer and other health problems.
