​Montana medical marijuana advocates are getting ready to start a signature-gathering effort to suspend a soon-to-be-enacted law restricting the industry — and they won’t need to collect as many names as they initially believed.

The Secretary of State’s office has determined that advocates need at least 31,238 signatures to block the Legislature’s medical marijuana overhaul bill from becoming law, reports Charles S. Johnson at the Billings Gazette. It could take up to 43,247 signatures, depending on which state House districts they use, but they won’t need to gather 73,010 signatures as some originally believed.

Citizens for Patient Rights on Monday announced the successful completion of their signature gathering effort in Lemon Grove, California. The group said it submitted more than 3000  signatures to the Lemon Grove City Clerk, substantially more than the 1,754 signatures needed to qualify for a regular or special election.
“As part of our initiative petition, we have submitted a formal request for a special election, though we hope the Lemon Grove City Council will see fit to enact the ordinance directly or put it to a vote of the people in the November general election, in order to guarantee a quick resolution of the question of whether there will be safe access for the medical marijuana patients of Lemon Grove and the surrounding areas,” Citizens for Patient Rights said in a prepared statement.

Stacey Theis spent untold hours in recent months tooling across Arizona in her bright-green CannaBus, talking to voters and collecting signatures for a grassroots marijuana-legalization campaign.

After Wednesday’s announcement by the group, Arizonans for Mindful Regulation, that it was halting its 2016 petition drive a month before the state’s July 7 deadline to hand in signatures, Theis and other volunteers wanted to keep working toward their goal. AZFMR’s website claims that more than 114,000 signatures have been gathered, and Theis believes it’s possible to collect and turn in the 150,652 valid signatures needed to make the ballot.

People want marijuana decriminalized in Santa Fe, at least that’s the message sent yesterday when two different advocacy groups submitted signatures to get the issue on the November ballot.
Both Progress New New Mexico and Drug Policy Action submitted signatures to the city clerk, who has to verify the signatures over the next ten days. If the groups meet the 5,763 needed signatures, they can get their measures on the November ballot. If they miss the mark, they will still have 90 days to collected the needed signatures to get it on the spring ballot.


If it isn’t going to be legalized, adults who choose to consume cannabis shouldn’t be treated like criminals. That idea is the basis for citywide ballot measures in Lewiston, South Portland and York that would decriminalize up to an ounce of herb as well as the use of ganja on private property.
Public use would remain illegal. So would selling it, growing it, distributing it, importing it and even smoking it in your rental unit if your lease forbids it.

Supporters of an embattled ballot measure to create a constitutional amendment in Florida allowing for medical cannabis say they have enough signatures to qualify for the ballot this November.
