Arkansas Rejects Proposed Marijuana Legalization Ballot Language
The ballot issue was submitted by Mary Berry of Summit, who has seen previous proposals denied.
LITTLE ROCK, AR — Next year, Arkansas is set to vote on legalizing marijuana. But the state attorney general's office rejected language on the proposal over uncertainty surrounding a provision that allows growers to have 25 mature plants and 25 non-mature plants.
In a letter dated Friday and released Monday, the office raised concerns over the provision: What happens after one of the 25 non-mature plants matures and gives a grower 26 mature plants?
The office also said it was unclear how many people or businesses could be involved in marijuana cultivation in each county.
