The grassroots resistance movement continues to grow, as these protesters take to the street in Livingston, Michigan, where a dispensary was raided and the owners arraigned on charges they delivered marijuana to an undercover officer posing as a medical marijuana patient.
As a mother of four children, Robin Schneider sympathizes with women who try to provide medical marijuana in a safe, legal place.The Lansing-area woman uses a medical marijuana ointment on her back to relieve chronic pain from a serious fall when she was 19, and she said she won’t travel to a “back alley” to get a substance voters have determined is now legal for limited use in Michigan.
Schneider was one of 15 protesters outside Brighton’s District Court, where a Handy Township couple, who operated a medical marijuana dispensary that was twice raided by police, was being arraigned on charges they delivered marijuana to an undercover officer posing as a medical marijuana patient.
One of the owners, Christi Marshall, is a mother, Schneider noted.
“I’m grateful to them for helping so many people obtain medical marijuana safely,” she said.
