LANSING -- Michigan voters will decide Nov. 4 whether they want their state greener. Not with an environmental plan, but with the leaves of medical marijuana. Proposal 1 would establish marijuana as a legal remedy for some illnesses.

    • Look at us here in mormon-run Utah!! I'd be surprised if we ever legalized it here, but then again I hear Salt Lake City has some pretty open minded progressive people like Rocky Anderson who would be willing to at least consider it.

      I'm moving within a year or two. Shootin for OR, WA or CO!!!! I wanna grow soo bad...

    • Yeah. Freedom is freedom.

      If not, at least legalize industrial hemp! Jeez, you can't even get high off of it (according to my research. . . ahem).

    • I love how we make things legal that will hurt or kill people, but not things that ease suffering. Counter-intuitive much?

      P.S. That's a great graphic.
