Momentum is building for recreational marijuana legalization in Michigan.
A new poll has found that 56% of likely voters in the state said they would support a constitutional amendment allowing the use of cannabis by adults 21 and over, according to the Detroit News. Just 36% oppose cannabis legalization in Michigan, while 8% said they haven’t decided.
The results come after a pair of competing marijuana legalization measures in the state received the green light last week to begin collecting signatures.
The two dueling campaigns – the Michigan Cannabis Coalition (MCC) and the Michigan Comprehensive Cannabis Law Reform Committee (MCCLRC) – each must turn in at least 252,523 signatures of registered Michigan voters in six months to make the 2016 general election ballot.
A third potential campaign is also in the works by a group called the Michigan Responsibility Council, but so far that organization has not turned in proposed initiative language to the state.
The Farm Bill offers new business opportunities for hemp - plus banking, tax and insurance help.

Tax rates are the most common thing. Milegalize is a far superior bill that tries to learn from the mistakes of the medical marijuana bill. The MCC proposal wants to put the control into the hands of those who have weakened the MM bill, The legislators and the police. They also appear to have big corporate sponsors.

“We must END marijuana prohibition, PROTECT medical marijuana rights, and DEFEAT the monopoly capitalists who plan to win control of all legal cannabis production in Michigan.”
