From MPP:
Under Michigan law, initiatives go into effect 10 days after election results are certified, which happened on November 24. The official results show that Prop.1 received a resounding 63% of the vote and majority support in each of Michigan's 83 counties.

I'm sick with aches and chills today, so I've called off work. Since I work from home, that basically means I have more time to surf. And feel like crap.
Michigan has a lot of organizing to do to enable patients and caregivers to register. Once registered,
Patients will be allowed to choose to cultivate their own medical marijuana in an enclosed, locked facility or to designate a caregiver to do so for them. Caregivers will be allowed to assist no more than five patients.
Who needs to contact their Representatives about changing national drug policy? YOU DO!
H.R. 5842: the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act
H.R. 5842 would end marijuana's classification as a Schedule I drug and would allow states to determine their own medical marijuana policies without federal interference.
H.R. 5843: the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008
Representative Frank's legislation would remove criminal penalties for possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana and the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce (28.3 grams) of marijuana.
C'mon, click 'em. Everybody's doing it.
I stopped by Bruce Mirken's blog, and see that German patients will now be eligible to receive medical marijuana.
Germany is about to become the fifth country to allow at least some patients to use natural marijuana as medicine. According to a report from the International Association for Cannabis as Medicine, the German government recently notified four patients that they would be allowed to receive medical marijuana produced under the Dutch government’s medical marijuana program. The German program remains limited to special cases.
