2018 Ballot for Marijuana Legalization in the State of Michigan

[KLAW Blog]

The proposed ballot language for marijuana legalization in the state of Michigan appears finished.

It will appear as proposal 1 on the November general ballot.

In April, the Michigan Board of State Canvassers approved a petition to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state of Michigan.

After the state legislature failed to take up the petition it would be put on the ballot for citizens to vote.

A proposed initiated law to authorize possession, use and cultivation of marijuana products by individuals who are at least 21 years of age and older, and commercial sales of marijuana through state-licensed retailers

This proposal would:

• Allow individuals age 21 and older to purchase, possess and use marijuana and marijuana-infused edibles, and grow up to 12 marijuana plants for personal consumption.
• Impose a 10-ounce limit for marijuana kept at residences and require that amounts over 2.5 ounces be secured in locked containers.
• Create a state licensing system for marijuana businesses including growers, processors, transporters, and retailers.
• Allow municipalities to ban or restrict marijuana businesses.
• Permit commercial sales of marijuana and marijuana-infused edibles through state-licensed retailers, subject to a new 10% tax earmarked for schools, roads, and municipalities where marijuana businesses are located.
