KALAMAZOO — All votes are in and Kalamazoo citizens voted to make a small amount of marijuana use a low priority for Kalamazoo's law enforcers on Tuesday night.

The ballot initiative passed with 4649 "yes" votes to 2416 that voted it down.

The proposal read: “Shall the Kalamazoo City Charter be amended such that the use and/or consumption of one ounce or less of usable marijuana by adults 21 years or older is the lowest priority of law enforcement personnel?”

Kalamazoo is the first city in the state to have such charter language.
