Maconha: Organizadores de Michigan Entregam Assinaturas para Duas Iniciativas Eleitorais Municipais

Tim Beck da NORML Michigan informou via e-mail na quarta-feira que duas iniciativas municipais relacionadas à maconha haviam cumprido seus prazos para a entrega de assinaturas. Uma iniciativa tornaria a maconha a menor prioridade legal, enquanto que a outra é uma iniciativa pró-maconha medicinal.

Em Niles, o presidente da NORML Sudoeste do Michigan, Don Barnes, e o coordenador de campanha, Greg Francisco, apresentaram 596 assinaturas ao escrivão municipal de Niles na terça-feira para colocar uma iniciativa de menor prioridade nas urnas. De acordo com a iniciativa, o porte ou consumo de até 30 gramas de maconha por adultos em propriedade privada seria a menor prioridade legal da Polícia de Niles. Eles precisam de 440 assinaturas válidas para entrar na votação. Agora, a cidade de Niles tem uma semana para anunciar se assinaturas válidas suficientes foram entregues.

Também na terça-feira, a Flint Coalition for Compassionate Care entregou mais de 2.000 assinaturas buscando colocar uma iniciativa pró-maconha medicinal perante os eleitores em Novembro. A iniciativa criaria um decreto-lei municipal que concederia aos consumidores de maconha medicinal uma isenção das leis sobre a maconha. A coalizão precisa de 1.150 assinaturas válidas e espera receber sim ou não até o fim da semana que vem.
