SIGNATURES POINT TO LEAGALIZING MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN MICHIGAN
Published June 7, 2007 [ From Lansing State Journal ]
Medical marijuana petition approved
Group still needs at least 304,101 voter signatures
An effort to legalize marijuana for medical use in Michigan cleared a key procedural hurdle Wednesday.
A state elections board approved the form of petitions being circulated by the Michigan Coalition for Compasjavascript:void(0)sionate Care.
The group still needs to collect at least 304,101 valid signatures of Michigan voters within six months to send its issue to state lawmakers.
If state lawmakers vote to accept the proposal, it becomes part of Michigan law. If the Legislature doesn't vote on the measure or rejects it, the initiative would appear on the November 2008 ballot.
The group has been collecting signatures for less than two weeks and so far likely has fewer than 10,000 signatures.
