Weed likely to be legalized in Mi in16. Leaders kicking and screaming about it.
Pretty disappointing all around especially from the mayor.
In the long run inconsequential as it already has 2 or 3 to 1 support and it's a year and a half out.
I don't smoke or have an interest in starting even if legalized, but just keep your mouth shut, and find a way to take advantage of this wave of cash coming your way in a piss poor city/state.

Devastating effect it is having on the planet
I’m opposed to marijuana because of the devastating effect it is having on the planet and the direct and indirect negative impact it is having on human life.
The massive amount of energy needed to grow marijuana indoors comes from coal fired power plants which pollute the air. The materials needed to equip the greenhouses are manufactured using petroleum and other toxic substances. The chemicals, trees, and raw mineral products needed to make rolling papers, matches, and other paraphernalia used to smoke pot damage the planet and hurt the environment. The run-off from fertilizers used to grow marijuana outside pollutes rivers and streams. Trucks and cars that transport the pot give off exhaust fumes which foul the air we breathe. So how many lives are lost world wide due to the bad air, bad water, toxic soil, and a polluted environment because of all the poisons we create to get high? Normally, liberal publications attack industries that do this much damage to the planet but the pot business strangely gets a pass.
