Marihuana: Organizadores de Michigan Entregan Firmas para Dos Iniciativas Electorales Municipales

Tim Beck de la NORML Michigan informó vía correo-e el miércoles que dos iniciativas municipales relacionadas con la marihuana habían cumplido sus plazos para la entrega de firmas. Una iniciativa volvería la marihuana la menor prioridad legal, en tanto que la otra es una iniciativa pro marihuana medicinal.

En Niles, el presidente de la NORML Suroeste de Michigan, Don Barnes, y el coordinador de campaña, Greg Francisco, presentaron 596 firmas al escribiente municipal de Niles el martes para poner una iniciativa de menor prioridad en las urnas. De acuerdo con la iniciativa, la tenencia o consumo de hasta 30 gramos de marihuana por adultos en propiedad privada sería la menor prioridad legal de la Policía de Niles. Ellos necesitan 440 firmas válidas para entrar en la votación. Ahora, la ciudad de Niles tiene una semana para anunciar si firmas válidas suficientes fueron entregadas.

También el martes, la Flint Coalition for Compassionate Care entregó más de 2.000 firmas buscando poner una iniciativa pro marihuana medicinal delante de los electores en Noviembre. La iniciativa crearía una ordenanza municipal que concedería a los consumidores de marihuana medicinal una exención de las leyes sobre la marihuana. La coalición necesita 1.150 firmas válidas y espera recibir sí o no hasta el fin de la próxima semana.
