AR: Ballot language rejected for proposed constitutional amendment aiming to ease access to medical marijuana
Arkansas' attorney general rejected ballot language Monday for a proposed constitutional amendment aiming to ease access to medical marijuana.
Griffin's office found several issues with the amendment's wording, saying parts of it were ambiguous or misleading.
The amendment, put forth by Arkansans for Patient Access, would allow nurse practitioners, physicians' assistants and pharmacists -- in addition to doctors -- to provide written certification for medical marijuana on behalf of patients.
The amendment would allow patients to grow marijuana at home and extend the validity of patient cards from one year to three years. If the federal government were to end its prohibition against marijuana, the amendment would allow adults to own up to one ounce of cannabis and allow licensed cultivators and dispensaries to sell the drug for adult use.
