Advocates are trying to put the proposal before voters as GOP leaders refuse to consider an adult-use marijuana program.
The Coalition to Regulate Alcohol Like Marijuana submitted 222,198 signatures on Wednesday for a proposed law allowing adults to buy, possess and grow cannabis. Advocates have been working for over a year to put the proposal before voters as GOP leaders"There is a place for a medical program and an adult-use program to operate side by side," said Tom Haren, an attorney and spokesman for the coalition.
Products would be taxed 10%, with revenue going toward administrative costs, addiction treatment programs, municipalities with dispensaries and a social equity and jobs program. A certain number of cultivator and dispensary licenses would be reserved for participants in that program, which aims to help those who are disproportionately affected by the enforcement of current marijuana laws.
And it's not a done deal yet. Election officials must verify the signatures by July 20 and determine if the group collected enough to make the ballot.
