Bismarck - After a statewide effort to get their measure on the North Dakota ballot this November, supporters of a medical marijuana initiative will deliver more than 15,000 signatures to the Secretary of State Monday, July 11.
Backers of the Compassionate Care Act will head to the Capitol building here at 2 p.m. Monday with their boxes of signatures, seeking an addition to Title 19 of the North Dakota Century Code.
If more than 13,400 signatures are deemed legitimate, North Dakota voters will have their say on Nov. 8.
Supporters said last week they had about 15,500 signatures.
The act would allow for the medical use of marijuana for debilitating medical conditions like cancer, AIDS, hepatitis C, ALS, glaucoma and epilepsy.
The act would create identification cards for patients, which would be issued by the state Department of Health.
It would also spell out procedures for health care workers and dispensaries. A qualified patient could get up to three ounces of marijuana, supporters of the initiated measure said.
If it's approved by voters, patients would be able to possess the three ounces of pot and people living more than 40 miles from the nearest dispensary could grow up to eight marijuana plants in an enclosed, locked facility after they notify law enforcement.
