MILegalize hosted a public “unity rally” at the Capitol Building in downtown Lansing on Friday, May 20. During the rally, the pro-marijuana initiative campaign turned in a petition with more than 315,000 signatures from Michigan residents to state officials. The petition calls for state legislators to fully legalize cannabis in Michigan.
Charmie Gholson, founder and director of Michigan Moms United, was one of many representatives who spoke at the rally.
“I am here today at the MILegalize rally because I have worked for the last four years to try to convince the Michigan Legislature to enact solid common sense civil asset forfeiture reforms,” Gholson said.
Other representatives at the rally included members of Michigan’s chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Jeffrey Hank, executive director of MILegalize, said fully legalizing marijuana in Michigan would create 50,000 jobs, rebuild roads and fund schools.
