Michigan Cops Use Faked Patient IDs To Buy Medical Pot

How's this for a waste of taxpayers' money and law enforcement's time? Oakland County Sheriff's deputies used phony Michigan patient cards they created on a county computer to trick state-approved medical marijuana providers into selling cannabis to the cops.

Days after cops bought cannabis with the fake IDs, county narcotics agents raided two medical marijuana dispensaries on August 25, in Ferndale and Waterford, Mich., reports Bill Laitner at The Detroit Free Press.

"These officers were denied entrance on several occasions because of improper paperwork, but when they appeared with these cards, I had no way to check," said Brian Vaughan, former doorman at the now-closed Everybody's Café dispensary in Waterford. Vaughan is charged with multiple marijuana violations.

"You've got law enforcement spending time and money to entrap users of medical marijuana," Southfield attorney Michael Komorn said on Tuesday.

Honestly, aren't there any criminals to go after in Michigan?

1. It seems the cops have broken several laws here

both in using fake medical IDs and in forging prescriptions.

Somebody needs to point that part out instead of freaking out that a dispensary was dispensing medicine to sick people.

3. A judge should do a good job pointing that out.

The top cop in Oakland Co MI is a well known cannabis bigot, and as we've seen dozens of times in Cali, when it comes to the courts, compassionate medical cannabis always wins.

2. Why do they hate pot so? Oh right, it is the most politicized drug ever.

Yet BOTH sides of the isle smoke it! Fucking bullshit, I hope the cops got a really bad buzz.
