SOS Approves Cannabis Petition For Circulation

(Bismarck, ND)  --  Secretary of State Al Jaeger says a petition for a constitutional initiative to legalize recreational marijuana is okay to circulate.  The petition calls for the legalization of the drug for people 21 and over.  If approved by voters, the measure would allow residents to grow, possess, and transport up to 12 cannabis plants for personal use.  The sale of marijuana would still be prohibited.  Just over 26-thousand-900 signatures are needed to get the measure on the ballot.
