Metro Times, 06 Oct 2010 – Just because the Detroit Election Commission chose not to put the question of legalizing marijuana on the Nov. 2 ballot doesn’t mean there’s no cannabis drama in this election. At least for Michigan medical marijuana activists, the contest for attorney general is crucial. "We’re concerned about the potential election of Bill Schuette as attorney general," says Tim Beck of the Detroit Coalition for Compassionate Care, an organization that supports the use of medical marijuana. "He is obsessed with destroying the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act. He led the opposition back in ’08. There’s a lot of stuff that he can do that is pretty damaging. We’ve got some people who are actively helping David Leyton, not that he is a person that wants to give joints to everyone. He believes the will of the voters should be respected. Under Bill Schuette it would be lucky if terminally ill people had access to medical marijuana."
