Arizonans will get the chance to legalize the use of medical marijuana yet again this November – the fourth such opportunity in the past 15 years.
The Medical Marijuana initiative became the first to qualify for the 2010 general election ballot after the Secretary of State’s Office verified on June 1 that supporters had turned in the required number of signatures from registered voters.
The Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project collected 252,000 signatures on petitions that were submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office in March, even though the group needed only 153,365 signatures to qualify the measure.
