“On Tuesday, voters in Flint, Michigan enacted a measure decriminalizing possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by people 19 or older. The municipal government afflicting that city blithely responded by saying that it doesn’t take orders from the people whom they supposedly represent: ‘The ballot proposal approved by Flint voters creating an exemption under city ordinance to allow persons at least 19 years old to possess less than one ounce of marijuana is symbolic in nature. It does not decriminalize possession of marijuana.’ Police Chief Alvern Locke candidly asserted that the officers under his command will simply defy the new law.”
