Michigan Becomes First Midwest State To Legalize Recreational Use Of Marijuana
Michigan has become the first state in the Midwest to legalize recreational use of marijuana, allowing citizens at least 21 years of age to light up and toke. The law is set to take effect on December 6th this week.
In the Nov. 6th election, voters endorsed legalizing the use of recreational cannabis (Proposal One) by adults who are at least 21 years old, similar to current alcohol laws.
So far, eleven states including California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington and the District of Columbia have legalized the use of recreational marijuana.
Although marijuana has been legalized, there are still restrictions and stipulations that smokers must adhere to. Marijuana can only be consumed on private property, although landlords and employers can prohibit its use according to a report by the Associated Press.
Citizens will only be allowed to have 10 ounces of marijuana kept at home. Meanwhile, anything over 2.5 ounces has to be kept in a locked container. Cannabis enthusiasts can also grow up to 12 marijuana plants in their home for personal use.
However, retail cannabis shops aren’t expected to open until sometime in 2020 or potentially later. When retail does start selling cannabis it’s worth noting there will be a 10% excise tax on all marijuana sales.
The tax money will go toward “the implementation, administration, and enforcement” of the act. After that, $20 million would be provided annually to “one or more clinical trials that are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and sponsored by a non-profit organization or researcher within an academic institution researching the efficacy of marihuana in treating the medical conditions of United States armed services veterans and preventing veteran suicide,” according to a report by Michigan Radio.

休閒大麻開放使用 密西根州當中西部領頭羊
密西根州本周清除障礙，成為中西部准許大麻做為醫療以外用途的第一個州，在11月6日的期中選舉中，高比率的選民支持年滿21歲的成人使用休閒大麻，此舉與他們贊成使用大麻舒緩某些疾病的影響相隔十年。許多支持者認為，十年之長的經驗、以及別州類似的合法化努力，致使選民投贊成票。
