LANSING, MI — A ballot initiative to legalize marijuana would give Michigan the highest possession limits in the nation, an MLive analysis found.
The language the group plans to circulate would legalize and regulate marijuana for recreational use. Those over 21 could use marijuana, but would still be unable to consume it in a public place or drive under the influence.
The language circulating would also give Michigan the highest marijuana limits in the nation, allowing residents to legally carry 2.5 ounces of marijuana on their person and have 10 ounces at home.
Nine states have already legalized recreational marijuana.
Under the push to do so in Michigan, Michigan would be tied with Maine, which allow allows 2.5 ounces on your person, for the personal possession limit. It would tie Massachusetts, which allows the possession of 10 ounces at home, for the limit on at-home possession. But neither of those states allows as much as Michigan in the other category, meaning Michigan has the highest possession limits overall.
In addition to harvested marijuana, Michigan would join states like Maine and Massachusetts in allowing unlimited possession of what citizens grow in the form of their own, limited number of legal plants. [Read more at MichiganLive]
