Great news! Earlier today, the Michigan Board of Canvassers officially certified that MCCC collected enough signatures to transmit the medical marijuana initiative to the Michigan Legislature. The 496,000 signatures officially counted by the state came back with a 75.3% validity rate, far exceeding what was needed to qualify. Such a high validity rate is testament to the diligence of our petition team, whose exacting attention to detail ensured we would survive any eventuality. And, of course, none of this would've been possible without dedicated petitioners pounding the pavement and doing the heavy lifting throughout the state. Thank all of you again. The initiative will now be transmitted to the legislature, which has 45 days to either pass it into law or send it to voters in November. Because the legislature has considered multiple medical marijuana bills in recent years and none have ever gained traction, Michiganders - who support protecting patients from arrest by nearly a 2 to 1 margin - are all but certain to vote on the issue at the polls later this year.
