    Also FYI this weed legalization shit is a fucking joke. You can only have up to 2.5oz of weed and grow up to 12 plants.

    Authorize adult use consumers, subject to enumerated limitations, to: (1) cultivate, grow, and possess not more than six cannabis plants at the individual’s primary residence, with a total limitation of not more than twelve cannabis plants per residence where two or more adult use consumers reside at one time

    12 plants would produce a lot more than 2.5oz. Also why any kind of limit on how much you can have? The group behind this law (cash grab for new corporate dispensaries/growers) is https://justlikealcohol.com so are they trying to also push limits to reduce the amount of alcohol you can posses? Doubtful.

    I will be voting no. There should be no regulation on cannabis other than for distributes and commercial growers.

      There already is regulation on cannabis, but a 2.5 oz limit is far better than a 0 oz one. How many years are you willing to wait for a perfect bill and how many people’s lives will be ruined by the current draconian laws in the meantime?

      Cool, guess driving to Michigan is the better option then

      The proposed legalization is better than the current law which is [shuffles paperwork, checks notes] having an out-of-touch 185-year-old take a Metamucil and Ensure cocktail dump on your head (see also: female reproductive rights)

        or just pay the 50 bucks to get a medical card, they give them to pretty much anyone. id rather keep doing that and wait for federal de-scheduling (lol) than place some stupid limit on the amount of weed you can have. get pulled over with three ounces of weed? jail/citation plus they confiscate it. get pulled over with three cases of beer? have a nice day sir (hopefully).

        if they were serious about regulating it like alcohol (like the name of the group suggests) then there would be no limits on the amount you can posses. this group is most likely only acting in the interests of the existing corporate weed monopoly that exists in this state as well as many others. this will just give them permission to set up even more grows and not actually benefit the smoker, and definitely not help any new small growers to start up.

        I hate that i have to keep saying this but voting for the lesser of two evils will get you the most evil imaginable.

      I can’t imagine why anyone would down vote this comment and I’m not one to complain about downvotes. Why not reply? This bill will mainly benefit the large corporate growers/dispensaries.
