Petition To Legalize Pot Circulating In Oregon

[jimbojinx]

"Petition carriers need 90,000 signatures to put a measure legalizing marijuana in Oregon on the 2012 general election ballot.

 

Supporters say Oregon's Secretary of State approved the form of the petition last week, and they hope to convince Oregonians to sign it starting today.

 

Initiative petitioners say marijuana would be taxed and sold through state-licensed stores. The measure would also permit adults to grow their own marijuana for personal use.

 

The chief petitioners say the measure allows farmers to grow cannabis hemp for other uses, such as diesel fuel, fiber or food.

 

Supporters say the measure would raise $140 million from taxing commercial sales of marijuana and save more than $61 million in police, jail and court time now spent on marijuana cases.

 

"We're wasting a lot of money right now on prohibition of marijuana. We're losing a lot of industrial benefits from not having hemp," says campaign manager Jennifer Alexander.

 

Supporters of what they call the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act say it would not change Oregon's existing laws regarding medical marijuana and driving under the influence of intoxicants......".

 

Will we have a ballot initiative pro Legalization in Mi for 2012 ?

 

I say yes.....

I would certainly sign a 'legalization' petition.

 

And I am certain my friends would as well.

 

It would solve a number of problems for all of us.
