Idaho Cannabis Activists Submit Signatures to State Secretary
More than 150,000 signatures were collected
Idaho activists hoping to legalize medical cannabis in the Gem State reached the final leg of their campaign to land a citizen-initiated state statute on the November 2026 ballot.
The Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho (NMAI) announced July 2 that the group submitted all county-verified petition signatures to Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane’s office, which must conduct the final statewide review – the last step in the state’s initiative process.
NMAI gathered more than 150,000 signatures ahead of a May 1 deadline for the state’s 44 county clerks’ offices to begin their verification process. Now, McGrane has the final say in whether the alliance collected at least 70,725 valid signatures from at least 6% of the state’s registered voters in at least 18 of 35 legislative districts.
“Through this effort, more than 150,000 signatures were collected in every corner of Idaho, and polling found 83 percent of voters in Idaho support a medical cannabis program,” according to an NMAI statement provided by campaign Communications Lead Amanda Watson. “Throughout this process, the people of Idaho showed up. They shared their support with friends and neighbors, they worked on this effort in good faith, they donated, and they volunteered.”
