Detroit Free Press, 30 Apr 2013 – Leaders of substance-abuse prevention groups launched a statewide campaign to warn young people about marijuana at a meeting Monday in Clinton Township kicked off by U.S. Rep.

Northern Express, 15 Apr 2013 – Thank you Northern Express and writer, Patrick Sullivan, for covering the story about Dr. Ed Harwell (who was charged with a felony for prescribing medical marijuana – ed.).

Likewise, the absence of medical records does not indicate that something is not medically necessary.
