Arkansas Secretary of State says medical marijuana petition fell 2,664 signatures short
SUMMARY: The Arkansas nonprofit group, Arkansans for Patient Access, fell short by over 2,000 valid signatures needed to place their amendment on the November ballot, according to the Secretary of State‘s Office. The amendment aimed to expand access to medical marijuana by allowing registered nurses and physician assistants to prescribe medical cards and sought to eliminate the application fee. While supporters expressed disappointment, the Arkansas Family Council argued against the amendment, claiming it could lead to increased marijuana access. Both groups plan to continue their efforts, with Arkansans for Patient Access planning to file a lawsuit.
Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston determined a petition to put a medical marijuana question on the ballot did not meet the signature requirements.
