Medical cannabis questions received between 67% and 89% in the 11 counties and two cities where they appeared. Adult-use…

Bringing legalization to the Midwest would be a game changer — support the YES on 1 campaign today It’s incredible to see the progress we have made in recent years. Marijuana has been legalized for adults in nine states and Washington, D.C., and polls show two out of three Americans want to end the failed policy of prohibition. But our opponents think they can stop our momentum — and they’re spending a lot of money to defeat Prop 1 in Michigan. A win in Michigan would demonstrate the strength…

Donate to the YES on 1 campaign to help them fight back against their dishonest opponents. We’re concerned about the legalization campaign in Michigan. Polls are tightening, and new campaign finance reports show that Project SAM and big corporate donors like the Dow Chemical Company and ITC Holdings Corp have recently poured nearly $1.4 million into the effort to defeat Proposal 1. The pro-legalization campaign was outraised during the last reporting period. Will you pitch in $25, $40, or even…

Having worked in states across the country to pass humane, sensible marijuana laws, it’s exciting that in just two weeks voters in my home state, Michigan, will have a chance to legalize marijuana! While polls are encouraging, the opposition is ramping up its misleading attacks, and we can’t take anything for granted. Will you please make a donation to the Michigan campaign today? Growing up in Michigan, I saw firsthand how marijuana prohibition failed my home state. When I was in high school,…

Proposal 1, the Michigan legalization ballot initiative, is up in the polls, but it’s still too close for comfort. The opposition campaign is just a couple of big checks away from being able to launch a large misinformation campaign. We’re in the final weeks of the election, and we need to make sure the Yes on 1 campaign has the resources it needs to educate voters about the benefits of legalizing marijuana. Next week, I hope you’ll join me in Ann Arbor for a special evening to support this important…

The Illinois general election takes place on November 6. It’s fast approaching, and voters this year will have a huge impact on the future of cannabis policy in Illinois. Lawmakers continue to look closely at ending marijuana prohibition and legalizing cannabis for adults 21 and over, and the differences between the two major party candidates for governor couldn’t be bigger on this issue: JB Pritzker (D) has come out in strong support of legalizing and regulating marijuana, while Gov. Bruce Rauner…

A recent study of the potential fiscal impacts of legalizing marijuana in Michigan found that passage of Prop 1 would generate over half a billion dollars in additional revenue for the state in the first five years of implementation. Read local coverage of the analysis here. Much of the revenue generated from marijuana would be directed to Michigan’s roads, schools, and local communities, which are currently underfunded. The report, conducted by marijuana policy consulting firm VS Strategies, made…
