A campaign to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older in Arizona has picked up 75,000 signatures already, an achievement that makes the proposal ever more likely to appear on the state's 2016 ballot.

J.P. Holyoak, chair of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, says today that his group is about one-third of the way toward its goal to turn in 230,000 signatures before the July 2016 deadline. More than 150,000 signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot, but ballot-measure campaigns always shoot for a much higher number knowing that many will be thrown out for various reasons.

The campaign is sponsored partly by the Marijuana Policy Project, a national group that has run successful campaigns including Arizona's medical-marijuana law in 2010 and the Colorado adult-use legalization law in 2012.

“We’re finding that more than one out of every two registered voters we ask to sign is happy to do it, so that’s a good sign,” Holyoak says in a written statement. “It makes little sense to criminalize adults for choosing to use a product that is safer than one you can currently buy in a grocery store."

Opposition group leader Seth Leibsohn, chairman of Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, says he doesn't doubt that the measure will be on the 2016 ballot — "especially when they spend a million dollars to hire people to collect signatures."

They are up to about 150k now. Aiming to 200k to be safe. Lots of drama surrounding this act allowing cities and town to choose to ban home growing as well.

The competing ballot to legalize is up to 80k signatures and has very limited restrictions.
