BrooklynGuy Posted December 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Michigan becomes first state in Midwest to allow recreational marijuana In a new law that took effect Thursday, Michigan is now the first Midwestern state to legally allow recreational marijuana. It's the 10th state to legalize recreational pot. It could take a year before Michigan starts licensing medical marijuana shops to sell to recreational users.

spartan max2 Posted December 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2018 10th state, and that is not counting how much more allow medical only. The tide is turning. I predict roughly 5-8 more years before the federal government legalizes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted December 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) not unless they come up with another excuse to stop, detain, search, confiscate, which will be as good as "i smell weed". civil forfeiture is a 6 billion a year industry, that would collapse without "i smell weed " excuse.

Many will continue to use their current dealers, but many will not. They still need a test that can show if you are currently under the influence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
