So I have an Amendment to the Michigan Constitution (or any other State) that I would like to get passed.?

I need 322,600+ signatures from Michigan to put it on the ballot for a popular vote. Can anyone help? Also I would like to know your thoughts on the matter. Though I know there will be some people who have this morally deficient desire to control others who will have a problem with this, though it makes no sense to feel that way. But a lot of people are narcissists, it is not my desire to appease them, just to simply stop them from believing they have the ability to control anything but themselves.

The people of the State of Michigan reserve the right to Freedom of Choice. Nothing in this Constitution is to be construed as the People granting the legislative, executive, or judicial branch as having the ability to prohibit, punish, deter by harassment, or regulate in any way, any acts or actions by an individual, or possession of any personal property, concealed on their person or otherwise. With the only exception being that the acts, actions or use of property can be proven to have caused direct injury to a flesh and blood human being or property not belonging to the Individual. In all cases in which there is a victim who received an injury to themselves or property, the accused has the right to a jury which may not be waved under any circumstance. Also with the exception of an injury resulting in death, the accused has the right to cross-examine the victim in a court of law. If there is no victim, or victim willing to come forward, there can be no criminal or civil procedure resulting. All statutes, ordinances, by-laws and regulations by any Government on any level currently standing which are in violation of this Amendment are hereby null and void. The role of the Legislature is not to decide which "Vices" the People are allowed to partake in. The People are free and sovereign citizens, and if the People are only free to make the "Morally correct" Choices, then they are not free. This Amendment is not subject to being repealed, altered, or infringed upon by any part of the Legislative branch and must be instated in all future versions of the Michigan Constitution. This Amendment is to be construed as an Inalienable Individual right not subject to any judicial rule making which would abrogate it, by all State and Local courts and by the United States Supreme Court under the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America. An Individual is only subject to having this right temporarily suspended or regulated for a period not exceeding 5 years as a punishment for being found guilty by a jury of their peers in a court of law, or guilty plea, for any violent felony. Any action in violation of this Amendment by any Government Official is a felony, punishable by one year in prison and a $5000 fine, this is not discretionary.

Sounds like a nice idea, but you have a couple of problems. Any amendment which can be enacted through a constitutional process can be repealed by the same process. It's in the nature of the beast. Look at prohibition. Also, no State constitutional provision can be applied to the Fe(de)ral government.
