The touchy subject of politics and weed, more garbage!

The biggest problem I see is the bottom left corner of huel's pic. Once they have regulation in place they can dictate much easier the rules of sales, amounts and anything else, and like Nancy said they still be arresting people if they feel like it.

This sounds like the perfect solution being the enemy of the possible...

It just does not seem right to let the state government get their game on (tax, regulate and litigate) as the federal government maintains marijuana as a schedule I controlled substance above all of our heads; taxing, regulating and litigating to an entirely different beat of the drum. It's simply a dangerous game to play with The People IMHO.

Until we address the absurdity and corruption that maintains even medical marijuana as a schedule I controlled substance today, there can be no real medical research, banking or hemp industry period and no state law can change that. For the past 50 years and trillions of dollars we've spent on cancer research alone, cannabis and cannabinoids have simply been taken off the table (out of the lab) simply because some politically appointed lawyer at the Department of Justice says so. Whom will be held responsible for this willful criminal prohibition game when the cure for cancer is found within cannabis ...

In my opinion the perfect solution is possible.. We are all in to end this, not prolong it

It's a pretty similar system to what they have in Colorado, and they seem to be doing alright. In fact, this proposal allows you to roughly grow twice as many plants and possess twice as much usable cannabis as people in Colorado....

I believe that "possession" should be further defined to "public transportation" with zero limits upon ones home. If that was defined originally within MMMA, most of the atrocities (SWAT raids and civil forfeiture) committed by our criminal justice system these past 7 years simply could not have occurred. With stated limits you risk the ability of prosecutors to argue the law as a simple exception to schedule I crimes up to, as can be witnessed in Oakland county with MMMA.

I like the mcclrc petition It protects the medical rights and allows hemp,recreational use,and dispensary's. I don't know if it's the same one you guys are talking about or not. We'll see what hits the ballot if anything. my biggest fear is once its legal it will go into the hands of the government and we'll be buying it at inflated prices for lesser quality just like canada.

If we have a half dozen legalization ballad initiatives here in Michigan in November 2016 and every one passes, it becomes nothing more than a numbers game. Only that initiative that gets the most votes will have a chance at becoming law and every other will simply be discarded in whole. So in reality it will come down to the bought and sold marketing (aka propaganda) game. As it is common knowledge that that game (Madison Avenue) is owned and controlled by establishment politics (D&R) and Wall Street (aka regulatory capture) ...

Why do we keep playing these costly and predictable state based games, as the point has been made nationwide already? Demanding the USAG simply request the scientific study of MJ and Schedule I from the HHS Secretary clearly spelled out in the law and then letting the chips fall where they may seems so elementary to addressing the actual problem IMHO. So why is no one selling that
