LANSING (WKZO) — A drive has begun to put the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes on the Michigan ballot in November of next year.
Jeffrey Hank who is the director of the Michigan Comprehensive Cannibus Law Reform Initiative says he needs 250-thousand signatures to get on the ballot. He says it would allow sales or you could grow up to 12 plants of your own.
He says it would save millions spent on enforcing marijuana laws that could be spent paving roads, and would create 25-thousand jobs.
Other states have legalized it, but tightly regulate production as well to control distribution and taxation of the substance.
