Detroit voters to decide if pot should be legal in the city

The Detroit City Council on Wednesday approved a ballot measure for the November election which would legalize marijuana possession in the city.
Last month the Coalition for a Safer Detroit turned in 6,100 petition signatures calling for a change in the law. Under the proposal, it would be legal to possess up to one ounce of marijuana on private property, but it would still be illegal to drive while under the influence of the weed.
The petitions left the council in the position of approving the law, or forcing a vote. The Detroit News reports the body chose to let voters make that decision in November. The body made the decision to let the issue fall on the ballot after Dennis Mazurek, an attorney for the city, told the council it could not approve a law which contradicted state law.
============================
Sorry it's a shitty article, but the news is no less awesome. Basically the bill allows up to 1oz per person on private property.

Does anyone actually live in Detroit anymore?
Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.
As a Libertarian I have to say that sucks.
The next thing you'll see is the poor drug cartels doing with less $, and what about the poor children? What about the courts, and the so called free lawyers at tax payer $. Which may effect the judges $, and then you have the bad cop on the take. Oh yes the Mexican army.
Prohibition never changes.
Now we have free health care. I can't wait for my weekly piss test with other individuals $
Is this freedom are what?

shows how right wing and stick up the ass intollerant this country is. You have to have a city near bankrupcy before you decide to stop using something way less harmfull than beer or cigarettes as a reason to arrest the minorities the right hates.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
