I want to alert people of this opinion by William Scheutte, Attorney General of Michigan, about the impact of medical marijuana usage in a child protective proceeding.
See: http://milawyersweekly.com/...
Not only does this bizarre opinion illegally add language to the statute, it also destroys the statute's privacy provisions by using two very different terms of art in the statute interchangeably to reach the result he wants.
I can already see judges ordering parents with valid Medical Marijuana registry cards to undergo a doctor's exam (of course a doctor of the state's choosing who doesn't believe there are any medicinal uses for marijuana), release all of their medical records (despite the Act's privacy provisions), and conclude that the parents are not using marijuana to alleviate the condition that qualified them for the card.
