If I am correct Abrogate Michigan 2018 and the NORML/lobbyists Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol are not actually competing ballot initiatives and both could become law if passed?
Correct. Abrogate is a Constitutional Amendment. CRMLA is a Statutory Initiative like the MMM Act was, which means Lansing D.C. can open it up and change it, or Attorn (defined as to TWIST) definitions in Courts to make it Read other than "Intended".
That is not possible with a Constitutional Amendment. Only We the People can change the Constitution via a vote at the ballot barring a couple very unique issues.
1. Complete Societal breakdown and complete collapse of the state.
2. Constitutional Convention.
3. Court Case ruling something unconstitutional.
4. Constitutional Crisis.
#4 can occur when 2 Statutory Laws are in conflict with each other or are otherwise causing a very serious outcry from the public.
Say when here are 2 Pot Statutes, 1 for Medical Pot & 1 for Recreational Pot and Law Enforcement and Courts and Defense Attornies, and Prosecuting Attorneys are confused because they don't read the Miriam Webster Dictionary or the Websters Simplified Dictionary, but they instead use the Black "LAW" Dictionary with its "Attorned" definitions for the Legalese Language they speak.
Abrogate would TRUMP the RMLA and remove all of its penalties, limitations, fines, jail time, Kidnapping of children, etc, etc, etc, etc. It would kill seed to jail as a Regulation to Dimish use,
The 2nd Amendment of Cannabis Law.
