We owe it to the Citizens of the City of Detroit to let them decide by ballot to opt into or, out of the State of Michigan's Medical Marijuana Law by December 15th, 2017.
The ordinance
modification will open the door for inclusion of people of all backgrounds to
become a part of this growing industry. Currently there are 984 liquor stores
in the City Of Detroit and the changes will bring fair and balanced laws that
people really want. By voting for change, Detroit and Michigan shall not be
left behind financially in the Marijuana industry.

| Exiting State Financial Control Is Thee Top Priority!! When this happens, every thing else will have a line to follow through, fiscal responsibility and oversight! |
The current ordinance
has cost the City of Detroit $1 million dollars in lost revenue while other
cities in Michigan like Garden City and Inkster are changing their local laws
to cash in on the green revolution. As a City determined to exit State of
Michigan financial control, new revenue streams can only help the situation get
better to open schools and recreation centers in neighborhoods for example.
We applaud industry
leaders like George Birko and Ronald Jones for organizing groups who have
stepped up to the plate. Organizations like the Sons of Hemp does an excellent
job of educating and enlightening people of color on the benefits of opting
into the State law. One of the benefits is that on October 1st,
2017, all Firefighters in Michigan will benefit from the revenue of the
Marijuana industry when 30% of all sale proceeds are earmarked for the First Responder Presumed Coverage Fund. When a
firefighter with 5 years of experience files this application with the Michigan
Department of Licensing and Regulation, it will suspend the employee’s workers'
compensation claim against his or her employer.
Given the horrible
conditions of our streets, a second look may be needed regarding the use of
Industrial Hemp to make concrete instead of the junk we have on our roads now. The current ordinance
was written, and promoted by interest groups designed to limit the number of
facilities and, send customers from Detroit to other cities for revenue
enhancement purposes. This proposed ordinance
will address the audacity of the people who do not live within 300 feet of a
facility who come to Board of Zoning appeal hearings to object.
Through the entire
process, it was very clear that Winfred Blackmon’s organization was working for
the Whiteman. Because of their efforts, all of the African American business in
the city owners were shut down and their customers being redirected to other
cities. A glaring example was the first drive through in America, Natures
Choice on Grand River Avenue that was converted from an empty Taco Bell
restaurant. Through Mr. Blackmon’s efforts, the State Of Colorado and the City
of Lansing MI have drive-through service while the Black Owned business in
Detroit was shut down.
With Attorney General
Jeff Sessions and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wanting to revive the drug
war, voting YES on changing the ordinances will help stop him from Arresting
and Deporting Medical Marijuana supporters, just like what President Trump is
doing to the Chaldean community. It is very important to contact US Senators
Rand Paul, Al Franken, Gary Peters, Debbie Stabenow and Cory Booker to continue
de-funding Jeff Sessions plan to revive the massacre at Rainbow Farms regardingMarijuana.
If you support sensible
Marijuana Laws, then we strongly recommend that you register and vote this
August and November for candidates who will support the will of the people
instead of narrow interests of a few.
