In the past few years there has been a few attempts to legalize or decriminalize cannabis here in MI. None of which have made the sense (to me) that Abrogate Prohibition Michigan does. MI Legalize and Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol just don't have the moxie that Abrogate MI does! The two latter mentioned still make room for taxation and over regulation, which I find to be unnecessary. While regulation for quality and safety standards is NOT a bad idea, with the state of Michigan finding itself within the same national opiate addiction epidemic, I'm of the opinion that cannabis has a whole lot less death to offer us as a people than opiates, or even alcohol!
It's time we start being honest with ourselves, not only as a country but as humans, about what kind of substances need regulation and which are a complete waste of resource to try and control with law. Proper education on cultivation and processing will eliminate most dangers associated with the cultivation and use of cannabis.
With the new MMMA amendments right around the corner from being implemented, this is one of our last options to steer the future of cannabis home and commercial cultivation. If we don't do something like it needed to be done yesterday than we can say goodbye to the small farms, small businesses, and home cultivators in exchange for Wal-Weed for years to come.
I'll be contacting Abrogate MI in the coming days to volunteer my time for collecting signatures when I can. I hope some of you plan to do the same.
Drop some thoughts below! I want to know what my fellow statesmen and women have to say about a possible full legalization here in MI as opposed to the system staying the course of a heavily regulated medical market. If anyone thinks that the taxation and control of cannabis like liquor is a better choice, please, share why with the rest of us. Let's be open minded.
