Detroit voters to decide if pot should be legal in the city
By Todd A. Heywood 6/16/10 4:11 PM
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.
