It's like all illegal drugs. The governments make way too much $ by keeping all drugs illegal. I was so glad to hear about MA, finally, but did not know about the Michigan.
A few years back I had a he/she who was busted for a small quanity of pot. "She" wished a jury trial. During voir dire close to 100% of the prospective jurors said they would not convict for possession of marijuana. The DA tried to have the entire room struck for cause. I managed to rehabilate the 6 necessary to serve, but one, the former mayor- a woman- said "NO she would not follow the judge's instruction and convict if the state proved its case".
