DETROIT, PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The National Patients' Rights Association (NPRA) -- a Michigan-based coalition of leading medical marijuana advocates working to protect patient rights -- today announced it is seeking input from both members and all other interested parties to identify and discuss practical legislative framework that specifically addresses formally legalized medical marijuana dispensaries in the state of Michigan. According to the NPRA, more than three years after Michigan voters approved the medicinal use of cannabis, patients in many parts of the state still have no safe access to it. Those seeking to contribute thoughts and ideas should indicate their interest by emailing: info@NPRAusa.com or by calling 855-444-6772.
"Our goal is to create a spirited dialogue between all interested
parties and seek constructive input for potential marijuana dispensary
legislation that could finally provide clarity to the public, to law
enforcement officials, and to medical marijuana patients," said
Farmington Hills, Mich., attorney and NPRA spokesperson Robert Mullen.
"We take the approach that Michigan needs to honor the wishes of its
voters when it comes to medical marijuana and appropriately regulate its
use and access. Specifically addressing a fully-legalized medical
marijuana dispensary model fills a need that would directly benefit
individuals who do not have the physical ability to cultivate
medical-quality cannabis at home or have access to a caregiver."
The NPRA is backed by patients, caregivers, businesses, and a range of
other supporters. Collectively, the coalition is working to broaden
awareness, reach legislators in a targeted manner, and help mobilize
patients and caregivers who are affected by current and proposed medical
marijuana laws. A key objective of the coalition is a push for
definitive regulation in terms of standardization -- ranging from safety
and storage needs, document management requirements, privacy, and
overall industry standards and procedures.
