I filed a petition, verification, and memo of points and authorities. They responded and I filed a response as well. How do I get a court date now?

Without knowing a lot more information, it would be very difficult for me to answer your question.

Someone who lives in PA gets protections from being fired if they have a medical card. But Ohio doesn't have any of that.
So if I live in Ohio but work in PA would I not get these protections because I live in Ohio and have an Ohio medical card?

No. Pennsylvania law applies to Pennsylvania companies. They would not be able to terminate so long as you are in compliance with Pennsylvania's medical marijuana laws.

You should discuss with your lawyer filing a motion to modify your probation to allow you to use your medical marijuana card.
So what about the ruling from Judge Daniel Dalton that states that the odor of cannabis is not probable cause for a vehicle search? Is that only for Whiteside County?
answered on Aug 11, 2022
Yes. Although the State of Illinois legalized personal use of marijuana, however, its use while driving is still prohibited and may result in a charge of driving under the influence (same as DUI).
Therefore, a smell of marijuana from the vehicle creates a legitimate probable cause to... Read more »
I think a cash only approach that partnered with local dispensaries sounds like a sound business opportunity. But I am wondering what I am missing

Delving into commercial sales of marijuana in Illinois is an extremely complex undertaking that has many nuances. You may begin with contacting the State of Illinois respective agencies for more information.

Great question! Like many changes in the law, it remains to be seen what will happen in situations like yours. Best thing to do is contact the court. If there is a valid warrant for you, you may be arrested on it, so it's important to address it. And what matters is whether your actions were... Read more »

I don’t know what it means to “be on colors” in Kentucky, and I am not an attorney in Ohio, however cannabis possession in Ohio is unlawful whether in public or your home—possession of under 100 grams remains a misdemeanor. See, generally, https://norml.org/laws/ohio-penalties-2/

Yes, just because certain drugs are taken by prescription or if they have been legalized does not mean that an employer has to hire you. I do not believe that they are required to indicate what drug or if that makes any difference whatsoever. Good luck and try some place else.
I read an article by Forbes magazine which claimed that indiana didn't have the ability to tell the difference between hemp and marijuana. Now if they can how easy is it? Would it take a long time and would it be costly to the state
answered on Jun 23, 2022
I have seen the language in the lab work from the State "Marijuana THC percent not determined". Hopefully at some point in the future they would be able and/or interested in trying to determine that percentage.

Yes, vehicle equipment violations are permissible reasons to initiate a traffic pullover.
What happens after that point is not necessarily fair game, however.
several small stashes of marijuana were found. My oldest received a simple possession charge. She does not partake in marijuana. If I took a negative hair follicle drug test to court and questioned the fact that the car is not hers, would the charge possibly be dropped?

Daughter needs a competent attorney now to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. The hair test would be heresay without expert testimony, but is something to tell the DA. She does not want a drug conviction on her record. It sounds like a consent search also.
