North Dakota Activists Push Marijuana Legalization to November Ballot

With over 22,000 signatures submitted, the initiative seeks to legalize recreational cannabis use for adults 21 and older.

The New Economic Frontier group delivered 22,444 signatures, surpassing the 15,582 needed to qualify for the ballot.
The proposed measure would allow possession of up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower, 4 grams of concentrate, and 1,500 mg of THC in products.
Home cultivation would be permitted, with up to three plants per resident or six per household.
A recent poll indicates 57% of North Dakota voters oppose the legalization of recreational marijuana.
State officials have until August 12 to validate the signatures and confirm the initiative's place on the ballot.
