Marijuana Legalization Petition Filed

[Jacob Bell]

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Missouri marijuana advocates want to ask voters next year to legalize the drug and regulate its medical use.

A group called Show-Me Cannabis filed its initiative request with the Missouri Secretary of State on Wednesday.

If the state approves the ballot language for the proposed Missouri constitutional amendment, supporters would need to collect enough signatures from registered voters by next May to get the question on the November ballot.

The measure would decriminalize pot use, possession and small-scale cultivation by Missourians age 21 and older. It would also require the state to issue retail licenses to sell the drug and oversee a medical marijuana program.

Sixteen states have medical marijuana programs. Activists are targeting several other states next year.

I just hope that they review how California had there's written and make sure that they write it without the flaws that made it fail out here. RD

So I have read the proposed Show-Me Cannabis two petitions to the Secretary of State’s office in Jefferson City, MO. They are very straight forward and cut deep to different parts of the law. I am in favor of the change and hope that it passes. It is going to be a long and hard road. I have seen some coverage on one TV station out of St Louis and it was not a positive one. I hope the the people from Show-Me Cannabis try and air time on the TV stations because you know the hardliners will. Education is a very very powerful tool that needs to be use to remove what some think is bad about cannabis.
Just my 2 cents

The anti TV ads here in CA I believe helped kill the vote because they were written to make people fear what would happen if Marijuana would be made legal. School bus drivers stoned taking kids to school and other outright scare tactics. RD
