LANSING, Mich. – The organization behind an effort to legalize recreational marijuana in Michigan says it has collected enough signatures and will hand over the petitions to Lansing on Monday.

The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol says it will turn in more than 360,000 signatures, surpassing the needed 252,523.

The signatures must then be approved by the Board of Canvassers.

Once the signatures are verified, the proposal would go in front of Michigan's Legislature which will have 40 days to make a decision. If the legislature approves the proposal, then it becomes law. If it denies the proposal, or does nothing, then voters will get to decide in November 2018.
