Oklahoma, North Dakota, Arkansas, And Nebraska Submit Signatures To Put Cannabis On November Ballot
“Legalizing and regulating marijuana is favored by the majority of voters”
Looks like there might be another green wave coming in November.
In the past week, residents of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and North Dakota submitted signatures to qualify adult-use cannabis legalization measures for their respective Nov. 2022 state ballots.
And they didn’t just squeak by, either. Campaigns in all of these states turned in over 50% more signatures than they needed to qualify.
In similarly conservative Nebraska, activists turned in what they hope will be enough signatures to put medical marijuana back on the ballot. In 2020, the state Supreme Court killed a medical marijuana ballot measure on highly dubious grounds.
“As in past election years, voters in both traditionally ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states will have the opportunity to cast their vote in favor of ending the failed policy of cannabis criminalization,” NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said in a recent press release. “And, if past is precedent, voters in 2022 will once again demonstrate that legalizing and regulating marijuana is favored by the majority of voters, regardless of geography or party affiliation.”
