Michigan: Pro-Weed Group Extends Signature Deadline to Bolster Pot Petition Chances

A group of marijuana advocates in the state of Michigan are extending a petition deadline they had set for themselves in order to boost their chances of getting a marijuana-legalization question on the ballot next November, according to the Detroit Free Press. The group, known as MILegalize, is trying to gather 252,000 signatures before June in order to make the ballot.

The group said that it is in stable financial condition, though it only had $500,000 on the books. One of the ways that funding level could work out could be if most of the work is done by volunteers, which is the plan for the advocates. At least one activist plans on driving around the state in a motor-home while broadcasting a radio show of his live in order to gather 5,000 signatures in eight days.
