    Michigan-midwest-state-recreational-pot


    Michigan to be first Midwest state to allow recreational pot



    Michigan clears a threshold this week as the first state in the Midwest to allow marijuana for more than just medical purposes. In the Nov. 6 election, voters by a wide margin endorsed recreational use by adults who are at least 21. The move comes 10 years after voters approved marijuana to alleviate the effects of certain illnesses. Many supporters believe that decadelong experience, as well as similar legalization efforts in other states, led to victory at the ballot box.

    Some are not potheads. Libertarian minded folks appreciate less police state, I think the issue goes way beyond the desire to get baked.

    Oh I’m sure and even then, there is so much more behind this we cannot see.

    As near as I can tell, it seems to be the will of the people. All (most?) of these laws have been enacted via referendum, the politicos would never do it on their own. I mentioned in another thread here that voters enacted legalization so the state legislature said "ok, it's legal but it is illegal to smoke it". The establishment wants/needs catchall "crimes" like this.

    I'm not pro-pot personally, I don't like it but I don't think it should be a crime at all. Time will tell how all of this plays out but I'm guessing "nothing burger". People that want to smoke pot have been smoking pot for decades, the laws didn't stop them.
