Michigan's Coalition for Compassionate
Care has launched a petition drive in support of a medical-marijuana
legalization plan, the Detroit
News reported May 24.
The group hopes to gather 550,000 signatures
and send the plan to the state legislature; if lawmakers
don't approve the Michigan Medicinal Marijuana Act,
the proposal would appear on the statewide ballot in
2008. The group needs to collect at least 304,101 signatures
to put the plan before voters.
The Act calls for patients to legally
be able to use medical marijuana to treat cancer pain,
multiple sclerosis, or other conditions. "This
is a narrowly drafted initiative," said campaign
spokesperson Dianne Byrum. "If you are going to
use medicinal marijuana, it must be under a doctor's
recommendation. Patients deserve to get relief from
their terrible suffering without going to jail."
Five Michigan cities have passed local
medical-marijuana ordinances, but past attempts to get
a statewide law have gone nowhere.
