[h=2]Pro-Medical Marijuana Group Planning To Canvas Riverfest[/h]
Little Rock KATV - Melissa Fults, with the pro-medical marijuana group Arkansans for Compassionate Care - along with the support of her husband - are transforming five acres of farm land into a camping ground, but this won't be your typical retreat.
"We will set up a porta-potty, a place for them to shower, and an area for them to come in and set a tent up. We just want to allow some of our volunteers that live too far away, a place to stay so that they can work Riverfest all weekend," said Fults.
Since 2014, the group has rallied to raise support for medical marijuana and gather signatures to get The Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act on the November ballot.
"Cannabis can't kill you, " said Fults. "It can actually heal you. It can reduce your pain levels, it can reduce symptoms and it's one of the safest things out there. "
The group's 30 volunteers and campers are looking at Riverfest as their golden opportunity to get the last minute signatures they need before the July deadline.
"We will all be there we will be at the entrances. You should not have any trouble finding us," said Fults.
The Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act has gathered close to 100,000 signatures and the required amount to turn the petition in is 68,000.
