Michigan voters are a step closer to considering whether marijuana should be legalized for medical purposes.

A state elections panel OK'd petitions Monday that puts the issue before state lawmakers.

If lawmakers don't approve the measure within 40 days, the proposal will be placed on the November ballot.

Michigan law prohibits marijuana use for any reason. But roughly a dozen other states permit medicinal use by patients.

The Michigan initiative would allow patients to grow and use small amounts of marijuana for relief from pain associated with cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and other diseases.

A doctor's approval or recommendation would be required to use the drug.
