Just because it has passed the vote, doesnt mean it will be put in effect.
The measure still has to be signed into law by the governor, if they decide to veto the bill, it can all disappear and the vote was for nothing.

That is interesting, where did you come up with that information? You mean to tell me we spent several months collecting a half a million signatures and spent a quarter million dollars, and you think the governor can just decide not to sign and it won't be law. Not only can they not veto the bill, they can't change the bill. They had their chance to do this before it went on the ballot, they choose not to do anything. This ballot initiative, which is now The Michigan Medical marijuana Bill, just needs the vote count cetified, whic will be done in forty days and then the COmmunity Health Organizations will have 120 days to have the identifcation card process in place. This bill Amends our State Constitution and would require a 2/3's majority in both houses in order to be changed and then that would need the Governors signature. Some thing that is not likely to happen when the voters approved it by a 2-1 majority.

And if it is signed into law, Michigan still has to setup a whole system for regulating the MMJ which will take even more time. It has been said that no actual use of MMJ can even be considered until May of 2009.
And even then. they are very very strict about who they are giving cards too.
This isnt like Cali where if you have back pain you can get a card, you literally have to be dieing.
Lets just hope that everything goes smooth and that more states will catch on

What is your fucking point. Why in the hell would you post this type of misinformation. Looking to create friends. We are not going to just hope this goes smooth, we are going to make sure it goes smooth, your help and bullshit is not needed, we are doing just fine without you. They may have a place for you at ondcp, they like underinformed folks there. VV
