A Grand Rapids law that makes possession of small amounts of marijuana a small civil offense is being challenged this week at the Michigan appeals court. In Grand Rapids, marijuana possession is akin to a traffic ticket, with fines ranging from $25 to $100. Voters in 2012 approved it by nearly 60 percent. But the Kent County prosecutor, Bill Forsyth, is challenging the law. He says Grand Rapids voters cant trump state law, which makes marijuana use a crime. Do you think a citys voters should be able to decide on lessening the punishment for marijuana, or do they need to abide by state law?
