Marijuana petition drive for 2008 under way in Michigan

[teacup13]

very very interesting stuff to read...especially if you live in michigan and are um over 18,,,,,lol

contact NORML if you are from michigan and wanna help us up


Michigan residents could legally use marijuana on private property under a measure proposed for the 2008 ballot.

The Board of State Canvassers today approved the form of a legislative petition proposed by an Eaton Rapids-based group backing the proposal.

The measure would make it legal for those 18 and older to use marijuana on private property. Those found using the drug in public would be guilty of a civil infraction punishable by a 50-dollar fine.

The measure also would allow people to grow marijuana at their residences.

Supporters of the measure must gather about 304-thousand valid petition signatures to get on the 2008 ballot.

Previous signature-gathering attempts failed in 2000, 2002 and this year.

I know this is from a while ago, but I was searching through these ('cause I haven't been here in a while, but I'm back ! ) and I thought it should be brought back up.

I live in Michigan. Which is nice. I've heard about this. If you need any help, I'm willing to do it.

I guess PM me if there's anything I should know or do or whatnot.

I DON'T live in Michigan and I'd love to help. I think any effort like this is going to need a lot of money and/or huge amounts of volunteer work to be viable -- you have to convince the public that pot's not as bad as the feds say it is.

So, anybody wanna' give me advice here?

Not sure what I should do to help out.... Teacup?

Yeah my friend told me about it and I posted asking about it in another thread but nobody responded. I want to know how I can sign that thing.

 

[Earth Child]

Yeah, man. We should hold a rally, you and me, Kitty. A protest for the right to smoke Buddha. You with me?

Where in Michigan, smoked? I live about twenty minutes out of Ann Arbor. Town called Northville. Between Plymouth, Novi, Farmington, Livonia.

And I checked out NORML.com, but I couldn't find anything about it.
