The state agency responsible for Michigan’s medical marijuana program says changes are in store. That’s after an audit found it’s not tracking doctors who approve medical marijuana cards.
The report by the state Auditor General found one doctor was responsible for one-fifth of all the cards approved. Another 22 doctors approved more than half of all medical marijuana cards.
Tim Beck helped write the medical marijuana law, which was adopted by voters in 2008. He says the audit shows it’s still hard for patients to find a doctor who will approve medical marijuana, and it’s not unusual for a small number of doctors to handle a lot of patients.
“The world has not come to an end here in the state of Michigan. There hasn’t been any spike in crime. There hasn’t been any wave of horror.
Beck says he thinks the best solution is the legalization of marijuana in Michigan.
