Today on Let It Rip Weekend, both proponents and opponents of recent efforts to decriminalize marijuana use statewide discussed the reasons for and against getting a legalization question on the 2018 election ballot.

On the panel:

  • Former State Rep. Jeff Irwin, from Ann Arbor, who is now political director of the Michigan Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol;
  • Scott Masi, local addiction counselor;
  • Former Fox2 anchor Anqunette Jamison Sarfoh, who suffers from multiple scleroris and has become an advocate for marijuana legalization;

  • Lt. Mike Shaw of the Michigan State Police.
