DETROIT - Voters in Michigan overwhelmingly approved a medical marijuana ballot measure -- making it one of a quarter of states to allow severely ill patients to use the illegal drug.

 

With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, 63 percent, or 2,557,410 people, voted "yes" on Proposal 1, which removes state penalties for registered patients to buy, grow and use small amounts of marijuana. Thirty-seven percent, or 1,519,273 voters, were opposed.

 

Opponents again were unable to derail the measure.

 

In fact, only one state, South Dakota, has failed to OK a ballot attempt.

Tanks for the link, first Big Island, now Michigan. Might be a good time to remind people to get behind Sandra Kanck's efforts to get a MM bill passed in S.A.
