More good news out of Michigan with a Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Poll finding 66% support for the state's Nov. 4 medical cannabis initiative. Only 25% were opposed. Hopefully, these numbers will hold through the election and bring medical marijuana to the Wisconsin border.

Proposals to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes and ease restrictions on stem-cell research using human embryos are favored by a majority of Michigan voters, a Detroit Free Press-Local 4 Michigan Poll shows.But political analysts and history suggest that backers of the two measures, especially Proposal 2 on stem-cell research, shouldn’t feel comfortable just yet.
“No-vote campaigns are easier, and they can come late,” said Ann Selzer of Selzer & Co. in Des Moines, Iowa, who conducted the poll last week.
Michigan voters appear to be relatively well-settled on their support of medical marijuana, Selzer said.

The new poll also showed support for Proposal 1, which allows the cultivation and use of marijuana by patients with serious medical conditions such as cancer and glaucoma, at 66%, with 25% opposed and 9% undecided.
