Groups across Michigan are collecting important signatures that would allow MI Legalize, a campaign pushing for marijuana legalization in the state, to get a proposal on the ballot for the November 2016 election, reported the Holland Sentinel Thursday. MI Legalize, along with the Michigan Cannabis Coalition, is one of two major organizations working toward getting the issue on the state's upcoming ballot.
Both groups face collecting 252,523 signatures from registered voters by Christmas in order for their proposal to be on the ballot next year. MI Legalize had a group on the ground collecting signatures at the recent Ottawa County Fair and Coast Guard Festival.
