I will support likely only one path forward to Legalization. the Jack Herer path. That is to say, No Regulation, No Taxes, No Rules, No Limits, No Prohibition, No Penalty of ANY Nature.
100% Decriminalization and Legalization in the State of Michigan for Any Adult the age of 18 and older, in any amount, any form, for any purpose.
It is an herb, it should be treated like any other plant that can be utilized for industry by anyone that so feels compelled to utilize its properties.
Medicine
Textiles
Food
Fuel
Cloth
Plastic
HempCrete
Hemp Building Timber
ect...
Henry Fords first Model A was built utilizing Hemp Plastic where possible, and the engine was designed to run on Hemp Diesel Fuel. the fuel was 75% cheaper to make than normal crude fuels, burned more efficiently, and created less harmfull byproducts (burnt fuel residues). The Hemp Plastic was more durable than steel, cheaper to produce, and would never rust or wear out, and took tremendous force to crack/break the pieces made from the hemp plastic.
HempCrete/Lumber (Processed Lumber) is 10x and 8x stronger compared to their more common counterparts. On top of being a stronger material once processed, it also brings with it insulating properties that far exceed current Insulation material properties for providing a thermo barrier between inside and outside temperatures. It also is proven to last longer and stand up to weathering far better....
I know many think this needs to be sold as a Tax and Regulate structure, but in my personal opinion, that is akin to cutting your nose off despite your face.
Taking the Power of Control out of the States hands by means of Legalization/Decriminalization, only to give it to right BACK to the State to implement Rules/Regulations and Taxes is the Epitome of Ignorance or Insanity.
Doing the same thing over and over and Expecting different results. This can be Good for Science, Bad for Living by when you are hoping for a different outcome.
