First ruling on
marijuana act by
state supreme court
By ADAM RUBENFIRE
Daily News Editor
On Thursday, in a unanimous
decision, the state's Supreme
Court made its first ruling
regarding enforcement of the
Michigan Medical Marijuana
Act,
The court ruled that the Michi-
gan Court of Appeals had too nar-
rowly and intricately interpreted
the MMMA when it stated that
Shiawassee resident Larry King
could not legally grow medical
marijuana in his outdoor dog ken-
nel, the Associated Press report-
ed.
After Owosso police found
marijuana plants in King's kennel,
prosecutors eharged King - who
holds a medical marijuana card
for chronic back pain - with man-
ufacturing marijuana. King's ken-
nel had a locked 6-foot high fence
and a black plastic roof that par-
tially covered the crop, according
to the AP.
Today's ruling also affected
the case of Oakland County resi-
dent Alexander Kolanek, who was
arrested before the MMMA went
into effect for possessing mari-
juana that he claimed was to sup-
press symptoms of Lyme disease.
Kolanek argued the possession of
the substance was legal, because
he had obtained a doctor's autho-
rization following the act. How-
ever, the Supreme Court affirmed
a previous appellate court ruling
that a patient must already hold a
doctor's recommendation in hand
when asserting the use of mari-
juana for medical reasons.
In a statement this evening,
Dan Korbkin, a staff attorney
for the American Civil Liberties
Union of Michigan, praised the
Supreme Court for clarifying the
state law.
"Across the state, patients have
not been able to assert their rights
under the Medical Marijuana Act
because the Court of Appeals in
this case misinterpreted the law,"
Korobkin said. "This decision
makes it very clear: a patient who
uses marijuana to treat their med-
ical conditions with the approval
by their doctor should not be pun-
ished for mere technical errors
regarding the number of plants or
how they were secured."

gie Classification, a framework for
recognizing an institution's range
of prowess, to the metrics Snyder
had originally proposed, which
includes the number of Pell Grants
a university is awarded.
"The metrics compare the
state's universities against each
other, rather than against their
Carnegie Classification peers,"
Coleman said in her testimony.
The plan approved by the joint
committee yesterday adopts the
Carnegie Classification.
In an interview Saturday, Wil-
banks said that she thought the
implementation of the classifica-
tion was an improvement from
past versions of the budget.
"This budget does take a step
forward in recognizing the Carn-
egie classification as an appropri-
ate peer comparison group rather
than comparing the universities to
each other just within the state,"
she said. "We were very pleased to
see the recognition that the Carn-
egie classification was used in part
to distribute funding."
The budget also adjusts the
University's reporting require-
ments for its embryonic stem cell
research, another major point of
contention between the Univer-
sity and state lawmakers.
In April, the University sent a
packet of press releases and scien-
tific journal articles to the House
Appropriations Subcommittee on
Higher Education instead of the
specific figures the subcommittee
requested. The subcommittee then calling it an inadequate invest-
