Milegalize- The Mmma Endorsed Ballot Initiative- Launches Campaign This Week!

[Greg Rx]

When the penalties for growing your own cannabis match that of producing your own alcohol or tobacco then you will have a decent analogy about the prohibition of the three.

 

Producing your own alcohol is illegal, has been for 200 years. Something that should be considered before we agree to treat pot the same as alcohol. 200 years from now they still will be busting home grows for the tax violation.

Sorry I have waited 40 years to vote for pot. I will vote yes on every proposal on the ballot. If you want something different, get your assets moving.

 

Maybe this one is worth your Time?

A) Title:  (1) This Act shall be titled;(2) "The Complete Abrogation of Cannabis Prohibition Act of Michigan"

Better late... as they say

 

Welcome to the forum btw!

 

Yep, every Monday night in Lansing, I got off my assets and am participating in a lil 'anarchy' working towards repeal.

There is a core group, some of which are the group you mentioned and others come from around the state to participate.

Meetings in Kalamazoo on Tuesdays also.

The market for cannabis sales is tiny compared to cigs and alcohol, and look what the commercial interests have already been willing to do.

yeah, its like there are super harsh penalties for brewing your own beer and growing your own tobacco. oh wait.

 

i agree with your other points but thats just bunny muffin wanna-be monopolies that all states have to deal with (see ohio)
