By Ryan Van Lenning Advocates of theTax & Regulate Cannabis 2010 Campaign have announced that they have gathered enough signatures to place it on the November ballot. They will be submitting the more than 650,000 to the Secretary of State next month. I spoke with Greg Grimala, a spokesperson at Oaksterdam/OD Media, who said they had reached their goal of the necessary 434,000 by Thanksgiving but wanted to collect more than enough signatures to ensure it was placed on the ballot.
If passed next year, it would local governments to tax and regulate, allow people 21 and older to grow marijuana for personal use and to possess up to an ounce. And since it would also allow licensed suppliers to grow and sell marijuana (up to an ounce at a time) to adults, this means that more people will be sharpening their cannabis entrepreneurial skills.
It highlights the importance of a local story like this.
