LANSING, MI — Multiple groups seeking to legalize marijuana in Michigan are hoping to put ballot proposals before voters in 2016, which means residents could be asked to sign multiple petitions this summer.
Two groups have already won approval from the Board of State Canvassers to begin circulating petitions for initiated legislation as they each attempt to collect the required 252,523 signatures. A third group is considering a possible petition drive of its own.
The following guide, which highlights key aspects of the various proposals, is designed to help residents understand what it is they're being asked to sign. It will be updated periodically and expanded if additional groups begin circulating petitions.
