Michigan voters will officially see Proposal 1 on their ballots Nov. 6, asking them if they want to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over in the state.

The Board of State Canvassers assigned the number Thursday after the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol garnered enough signatures to place the question on the ballot.

The coalition is made up of multiple cannabis activist groups, the ACLU and drug policy reform groups.

Michigan lawmakers had a chance to take action on adult recreational marijuana this summer, but failed to act in time. They had been mulling an adopt-and-amend plan that would have had lawmakers adopt the proposal put forward by the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, and then make changes.

Now, voters in Michigan will have a chance to decide for themselves.

Proposal 1, if passed, would legalize the recreational use of marijuana, limiting its use to those over 21 and continuing bans on smoking in public places or driving under the influence.

It would direct the state to create a licensing and regulatory system for the recreational marijuana industry -- similar to the efforts the state is taking now with medical marijuana.

The proposal would allow for generous possession limits of recreational marijuana compared to what's allowed in other states, and would impose some of the lowest tax rates on recreational marijuana in the country.

Tax revenue would be used to cover administration of the program and $20 million annually to research the use of marijuana in treating U.S. military veterans and preventing veteran suicide for at least two years until 2022. Any remaining funds would go to cities and counties with marijuana retail stores or micro businesses, the School Aid Fund and to roads and bridges.
