A bill approved last week by a Senate committee would pave the way for the production and sale of \u201cpharmaceutical-grade\u201d cannabis. The measure essentially would create a second medical pot system in the state, one that proponents say would not interfere with the existing law under which patients can grow their own pot or obtain it from caregivers. \u201cMarijuana, if it\u2019s to be medical marijuana, should be held to the standard of medical safety, dosage predictability,\u201d said Sen. Roger Kahn, a Saginaw Township Republican and cardiologist. \u201cOur medical marijuana (law) does neither of those. Yet it uses the word the word `medical\u2019 predominantly or prominently in its claims.\u201d Kahh is sponsoring legislation, now pending on the Senate floor, to move marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug in the same category as heroin and other drugs with no accepted medical use to a Schedule 2 drug like cocaine and morphine that are addictive but also used for medicinal purposes. The reclassification could not occur without federal approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/detroit.cbslocal.com\/2013\/11\/11\/michigan-legislators-propose-pharmacy-marijuana-sales\/\">Read More.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associated Press &#8211; Five years after Michigan voters legalized marijuana use for medical purposes, lawmakers say it\u2019s time the drug is brought into the fold of the health care industry so patients can buy it at their corner pharmacy.
