Michigan
- Thread starter rzza
- Start date
well it looks like Jennifer Granholm actually did something good...awhile back she signed some bill that would give Production Companies HUGE tax breaks if they came to Michigan to make their movies, she want Michigan to get a piece of the Hollywood pie. 
So far there have been a couple movies shot around the detro-metro area, Samuel L. Jackson may be coming to Michigan this year, Sigorny Weaver (spell check) will be coming to Michigan this year too. But the reason for my post is that there is another movie being shot here, its a Shawn Levy and Dreamworks movie starring Hugh Jackman called Real Steal....and guess what? They may be shooting a carnival scene on our farm! About a week ago while i was at work a movie scout stopped and was talkin to me about possibly shooting some scenes here. Yesterday my dad got a call from someone saying the Producers were gona come out today at 8 this morning to talk to us and to check out the farm. They showed this morning (Shawn Levy included..well i think anyway, it looked like him and they introduced him as Shawn and he had a little bitch boy assistant with him lol) and they seemed VERY happy with it, i heard the word perfect a few times. they said some more people would show up sometime to look at things and then after that of course we talk money 
its not for sure yet but i would say its 95% for sure from what they all said this morning. but from what they were saying they wana do might be too much hassle for us though (put a road in thru our field and have a "camp site" for 200-350 cast and crew members, store 4 rodeo bulls in our barn and there is a possibility of the bulls destroying our barn...it happened before when we stored a rank bull for a friend of ours and set up a ferris wheel in the middle of our field) but if they're payin...
so i dont know, we'll see, i'll keep everyone updated. oh yeah, we were also told if we wanted to be extras that would be a ok, so if they have a casting call or anything ill post it on this thread so maybe some of us riu'ers can get in a movie.
Real Steal on IMDB
you can also google Real Steel Michigan and there are a few articles about it.
anyway, here is a picture out my kitchen window, they want to shoot way in the back there by the trees.
edit: i fucked this one up lol, the picture is a few posts down...

Time 3:00 pm till 5:00 pm

There will be items available for sale form each organization.

ok, but how are they getting away with it? those are not legal under michigan law. i would be very careful dealing with these places, there going to be the DEAs first stop in michigan.
dont get me wrong, im all for them but not if its illegal. i would open my own next week if you could explain how they are operating legally. i have three harvests rready togo.
dont get upset im just interested in doing this legal, ive gone the other way for 13 years with my crops, want 100% legal with no questions.

dude just go into the place today and talk to the guy. i have already and hell explain why its legal. its legal cuz your becoming a member of a collective and you can legally trade and sell your meds with anyone in your collective. it is legal and if the cops were gonna take em down they would have already im sure. ypsi has been going a long time now and ann arbor for a few months. they will buy your "overages" (last three crops) but i dont think they pay alot. they sell for 420 a zip and im sure theyll pay half that.
on another note ...anyone gt a 1000 watt hps for sale? i would concider 600w.

ah ha..now it makes sense to me, they are technically a co-op, not a dispensary. once i get my card (dr's appts are this week) im gona talk to the hydro shop dude about starting a co-op.
rzza, this land (200 acres) has been in my family since the early 50's. my grandpa and uncles and dad farmed it until my grandpa died then my dad bought out my uncles and now my dad and i run the farm. we also rent/lease land..almost 2000 acres total. my family also had 100 acres in warren...back when it was 100% farmland, no paved roads anywhere....i think that farm was on 13 mile and dequindre...

still sounds sketchy.rzza chill bro, just because we live in michigan doesnt mean we have to live up to being" the biggest dicks in the US". i was just curious because our lawyer says that selling to anyone not registered as your patient is illegal. Anyone got a link to the law thats says co-op our legal. Seriously ill open my doors in kalamazoo in a week if i can be made to believe the DEA would kick my doors in. people ran places in cali. for more than five years before they got closed. just because they havent been busted doesnt mean they wont.
p.s. i only charge my patient 150 a zone. kushs only

hey man...what the heck are you talking about? LOL
i just went through the past few posts and i dont know how i was a dick?
anyhow the law is open for interpretation. its not going to adress a co op ..you need to go thru and find how it is ILLEGAL.
law enforcement cant say "the law doesnt say its legal for a co op so your going to jail" they would have to say something like "the law states you cannot sell to a patient who isnt your patient" which it doesnt say.
these two excepts contradict each other. read them carefully, K tells me i can legally run a co op while B tells me i caannot
(k) Any registered qualifying patient or registered primary caregiver who sells marihuana to someone who is not allowed to use marihuana for medical purposes under this act shall have his or her registry identification card revoked and is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both, in addition to any other penalties for the distribution of marihuana.
(b) A primary caregiver who has been issued and possesses a registry identification card shall not be subject to arrest, prosecution, or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege, including but not limited to civil penalty or disciplinary action by a business or occupational or professional licensing board or bureau, for assisting a qualifying patient to whom he or she is connected through the department's registration process with the medical use of marihuana in accordance with this act, provided that the primary caregiver possesses an amount of marihuana that does not exceed:
(e) A registered primary caregiver may receive compensation for costs associated with assisting A registered qualifying patient in the medical use of marihuana. Any such compensation shall not constitute the sale of controlled substances.

i havent read much of this post... but i have been a few large scale places that act as a dispenserie/co-op and openly dispense to the public
they have been raided once and cops stop in frequently to question... but the grower/owners maintain the legal amount of plants and is a patient/caregiver and told me that Patient to patient is 100% legal. If you are just a caregiver and not a patient, then it is kind of a grey area
i am not a legal professional and would never try this myself... but people are doing this and making a ton of money while selling an average product for 15/20 a gram and people pay this amount all day
you should see the waiting area at the places i have gone to
again, if the last few posts arent even related to this aspect... i will edit and delete this post but im not about to read through 13 pages lol too much medication tonight
