Over 240,000 Signatures Collected on Michigan Initiative to Legalize Cannabis
Advocates in Michigan have collected over 240,000 signatures on an initiative to legalize recreational cannabis, close to the 252,000 needed to place the measure on this November’s general election ballot.
The MILegalize Board of Directors announced Tuesday that despite being less than 12,000 signatures from the 252,000 signature requirement, the group is calling on volunteers to help them collect 50,000 more signatures by March 15th, the state’s deadline, in order to account for invalid signatures.
“MILegalize has always set a goal of overachieving the target number of signatures needed,” said MILegalize Chairman, Lansing attorney Jeffrey Hank. “Besides our heroic activists, we have established contracts with two professional signature gathering firms to collect another 100,000 valid signatures from voters before the end of our drive. It’s exciting. This spring offensive is the beginning of the end of cannabis prohibition in Michigan.”
“Our volunteer army has kept us in the campaign,” says Campaign Manager Chris Silva said. “The people of Michigan responded. They know why we can’t wait.”
Campaign Finance Reports released earlier this week show that MILegalize has raised more than half a million dollars to legalize cannabis in Michigan.

Please legalize cannibis , it’s uses are so much more than someone wanting to get high , I watched my dad die of cancer in 74′ they didn’t know as much as they know now , it would have helped him with his pain and it would have given him an appetite as he pretty much died of starvation because the radiation made him lose his appetite , I also watched my mom died horribly from breast cancer she could have had such a better quality of life with the help of cannibis and cannibis oil , she would have been able to sleep , relax and would have gained her appetite back , I suffer from chronic abdominal pain I have a very hard time eating if I eat once a day it’s a good day I know this would help me gain a normal appetite , have less anxiety as I also had stage 3 malignant melanoma , I pray you legalize this amazing God give plant do t let us suffer anymore please , God doesn’t make mistakes , sincerely Lauri please listen to your heart
