There are only 14 days before the Novemeber election. That is 2 weeks until the residents of Michigan can vote on Proposal 1 that is an indirect initiated state statute that would allow the medical use of marijuana for seriously ill patients.
Taken from balletopedia:
Specifically, the measure, if approved, would:
* Allow terminally and seriously ill patients to use marijuana with their doctors’ approval.
* Permit qualifying patients or their caregivers to cultivate their own marijuana for their medical use, with limits on the amount they could possess.
* Create identification cards for registered patients and establish penalties for false statements and fraudulent ID cards.
* Allow patients and their caregivers who are arrested to discuss their medical use in court.
* Maintain prohibitions on public use of marijuana and driving under the influence of marijuana.
An October 2008 poll of likely Michigan voters condicted by Denno Noor Research, The Rossman Group, and Michigan Information and Research Service claimed “58 percent of Michigan’s voters favor the ballot initiative while 33 percent do not.”[10] The poll has a margin of ewrror of plus or minus four percentage points.[13]
A Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Michigan Poll shows 66% of respondents in favor of Proposal 2, with 25% opposed and 9% undecided. The poll, conducted Sept. 22-24, 2008, was based on telephone interviews with 602 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.[14]
A poll by Marketing Resource Group in March 2008 showed 67% of voters saying they supported medical marijuana and 62% voicing approval for this particular initiative. Voters between 34 and 54 showed 75% support for medical marijuana, with 63% of retirees voicing support. Younger voters (18 to 34) were the least supportive, with 61% backing the measure.
Michigan you have 2 weeks to get the support that you need for this initiative. To pass it will bring releif from pain and misery to thousands of your citizens. To let it not pass is a vote of approval for big pharmaceutical companies, and the scare tactics of the Federal Government.
Vote yes on Michigan Proposal 1.
Namaste.
