Both sides are airing commercials, the side against the pot has a short ad showing a wicked looking man standing outside a “pot store” talking to small children that pass. The ad claims that after it was legalized in California hundreds of pot clubs opened and that people are standing around smoking pot close to schools.

The Michigan Coalition for Compassionate Care, which supports the law says that 11 other states have passed the law with no “pot shops” opening.

The Michigan law is very specific and has included many safeguards so that, this kind of thing won’t happen there, and to ensure that only severely ill people will be able to get it.

The Citizens Protecting Michigan’s Kids is the group that fighting the law, and it could quite possibly be squashed by these nuts, who obviously know nothing about pot. However if donations to these two organizations concerning the pot law are any indication of which has more support than the law will be passed, allowing the medical pot, by  $1.5 million to $125,500.
