I know what you are saying but, because it is a schedule 1 drug, it ranks up there with heroin for law enforcement purposes:

1. The drug or other substance has high potential for abuse.
2. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
3. There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

The Oxycontin you are referring to is medically approved.

As far as your question of a vaporizer, I am not sure if that form is going to be available to Michigan users. I am also unaware if they are going to tax revenue made off of it. I would doubt it if they are as they are not talking about having marijuana dispensaries like in California. I believe it is supposed to be grown for consumption purposes not to exceed 12 plants. That's a lot of plants allowed. I would have less of a problem with tincture and vaporizer type applications rather than smoking which causes it's own share of medical problems.
