Detroit Voters Decriminalize Marijuana

In the latest in a series of a victories for drug law reform advocates, Detroit voters just passed Proposal M, decriminalizing marijuana.  

"The Motor City once again proved itself a leader in civic innovation as voters opted to decriminalize adult possession of small amounts of marijuana tonight," said LEAP Executive Director Neill Franklin, "It will now join the ranks of other states and localities who have successfully implemented similar policies, demonstrating to the rest of the country the wisdom and justice of such models."
