Michigan will have a medical marijuana initiative on the ballot
When Michigan voters get out to the booths this November, they will have the choice to make marijuana use for medically ill people a reality. The Michigan Coalition for Compassionate Care submitted a petition with over 500,000 signatures to get the Legislature, who had 40 days to act on it before it would go to the people of Michigan for a vote this November. Well those 40 days have passed with no action, so now it goes to the people.
If the people of Michigan decide to pass this into law, anybody with a recommendation from a doctor will be permitted to grow and use their medicine without the fear of being prosecuted. There are currently 5 different cities in Michigan that have adopted medical marijuana laws, however anyone caught is prosecuted under state law where medical marijuana is still illegal.
Michigan is not the only state where this occurs. Medical marijuana is legal in the entire state of California, but if the Federal government (DEA) decides to come charge you, they can because growing and using medical marijuana is still illegal under federal law. This makes me wonder why we give cities and states a voice at all. When a small community of people decides that they want to allow their community members to do something, who are you to tell them they’re not allowed? That attitude ultimately defeates the purpose of democracy and voting by rendering the opinions of small groups of people, useless.
