Michigan Supreme Court gives Detroit a choice to legalize pot

[Lucky7s]

<hr size="1" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">America has helplessly watched Detroit shrivel since the recession, but now the city may have found a foolproof way to get people to move to the Midwest metropolis. The Michigan Supreme Court is holding a vote on August 7 that will allow the city's residents to decide whether to legalize marijuana. Before you start packing your hemp duffle bags, there are some caveats: only an ounce, only on private property, only for people 21 and older. And its possible Detroit residents might vote no. But the city is having enough trouble keeping street lamps lit, let alone policing pot possession, so the measure is as practical as it is progressive.

Thats how pot should be though; 21 or older, private use, small amount...Watch this shit save the damn city.

Shit, why couldn't it be June 7!? I'll be in the Detroit area tomorrow on business.

One must admit that this is a strategy to bring the people back to the city. Too bad everyone will be just hanging out smoking and eating fast food. Can't fault them for trying.

the City will vote NO. Niggas don't don't vote up here. The reason the city is so bad off is due to the resistance to change and evolve.

This city is total 125 miles wide and no mass transit.

One of the few cities that has a large amount of open land and not willing to make tax breaks to allow businesses to enter the city limits.

Have a lot of major corporations that are headquartered in the city and no investment in the areas.

before this is changed legalizing weed ain't gone do shit but make these niggas worst.

The worst thing you can do in Detroit is make a fool feel empowered.

I get what your saying, but why not have taxes on weed like liquor and cigarettes and use that money to implement the changes that you see as a resident that are needed.

States use "immoral" shit to fund programs all the time. In GA it was the lotto to fund college education for residents. A program I admit was definitely needed in this state. However; last year they claimed that folks aren't playing lotto like they used to and got rid of the program. I feel if GA had a similar program with a pot tax and lotto combined the state would be in an never ending surplus, and they could finally stop hacking education .
