"Campaign To Legalize Marijuana Ready In Michigan" [View all]
The effort to legalize marijuana in Michigan will be officially underway in two weeks.
The 2012 Michigan Ballot Initiative to End Marijuana Prohibition, sponsored by a grassroots group named Repeal Today For A Safer Michigan 2012, hopes to give the voters a chance to decide for themselves next November, reports Ryan J. Stanton at AnnArbor.com.
"We do have language written and petitions getting ready," said RTFASM supporter T.J. Rice on Wednesday afternoon.
The petition seeks to amend the Michigan state constitution to legalize marijuana for people 21 and older.
Ironically, the momentum of the legalization campaign seems to have been greatly accelerated by notoriously anti-marijuana Attorney General Bill Schuette. The AG -- who claims that Michigan's medical marijuana law has been hijacked by people who just want to get high -- has been throwing his weight around all over the state, trying to shut down dispensaries and intimidate medicinal cannabis providers. He even infamously said at one point "this is Michigan, not a Cheech and Chong movie."
