Michigan voting on legalizing medicinal marijuana

by Marijke Durning, RN on November 2nd, 2008

If you live in Michigan and feel strongly about allowing the use of medicinal marijuana for people who have AIDS, cancer, or even glaucoma, among other conditions that respond to marijuana, you’d better get out and vote on Tuesday, November 4. The 2008 election is encouraging you give your voice.

If you would like to see the ballot initiative, click on this link. It’s a PDF document that you will have to download. In short, it says that if you have a disease that results in the symptoms that may be eased with the use of medicinal marijuana (which they refer to as marihuana on the ballot initiative), you may be registered to be able to grow, cultivate, and use marijuana provided your physician has prescribed it. Many people who live with chronic pain find relief from marijuana.

You can also read about it in a Wall Street Journal article, Michigan May Legalize Medical Marijuana, Expand Stem Cell Research.

    i saY lets the people that need it have it. i’d rather be around someone that is high than someone that is drunk. marijuana doesn’t hurt anyone and if you have ever seen superhigh me then you know that most of the mythes have been proven wrong.so i say let there be weed.
