 A group called Kind Idaho has submitted initial paperwork to the secretary of state’s office on Tuesday, for a proposed 2024 ballot initiative that would legalize medical marijuana.
If the measure qualifies and is approved by voters, patients with qualifying conditions would be able to purchase cannabis at state-licensed dispensaries, and those unable to access or afford dispensaries could grow up to six plants at home. After submitting the proposal, the group will now wait while the state attorney general reviews their proposal and either approves or makes changes. After that, the group can begin collecting signatures. Jackee Winters, chair of Kinda Idaho, said in the video posted Tuesday that the group’s focus now is fundraising and recruiting volunteers ahead of a signature-gathering campaign expected to kick off in November. She said, “We need black pens and legal paper…and you can make your donations at Idaho Central Credit Union.” The same group had also submitted an effort to put medical marijuana on the state ballot this year, but organizers later said they didn’t collect enough signatures. Kind Idaho says it’s optimistic the new effort will be successful, though. Evans said, “Be prepared. You’re gonna make this happen this year. All the roadblocks from the past year are done and gone with.” Comments are closed.
