170,000 Signatures Collected on Michigan Initiative to Legalize Cannabis

michiganThe Michigan Cannabis Coalition says it’s collected 170,000 signatures on their initiative to legalize recreational cannabis, which they’re hoping to put to a vote of the people next year.

The Michigan Cannabis Control and Revenue Act would legalize the possession of an unlimited amount of cannabis for those 21 and older, while also allowing for the personal cultivation of up to two cannabis plants. State-licensed cannabis retail outlets and cultivation facilities would also be legalized.

The group is required to collect 252,000 signatures to place the initiative on the November, 2016 ballot. 170,000 represents 67%, or 2/3rds, of this total, though the group must account for invalid signatures, which is any signature not from a registered Michigan voter, and any duplicate signature.

According to polling released in June, 56% of Michigan residents support legalizing cannabis.

        Legalization is legalization. If we do not vote for both initiatives chances are we won’t have it. we cannot divide ourselves as supporters we have to pull together, vote for both on the ballot and let the everyday person who’s on the fence decide which one passes.
