In 2006, voters in South Dakota become the first -- and the only -- in the nation to reject a state initiative legalizing medical marijuana, defeating it by a margin of 52% to 48%. This year, they will have a chance to reconsider. The South Dakota Coalition for Compassion announced this week it has gathered enough signatures to put its medical marijuana initiative on the November ballot.

California’s Tax Cannabis 2010 campaign announced today that they have submitted nearly 700,000 signatures to qualify their initiative for the November 2010 ballot. The initiative seeks to make personal possession (up to 1 oz.) and cultivation (up to 25 square feet) legal for adults 21 and up. The proposal also gives cities and counties the option to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana sales.

It is with great excitement that I announce that Prop 203 has won! We are now 4421 votes ahead and that lead is expected to grow as the last few thousand votes are counted next week. The Arizona Medical Marijuana Act will be certified on November 29th and the Department of Health will have 120 days to put together the application process for this program.

The Detroit Election Commission voted 3-0 Monday to reject a Nov. 2 ballot proposal that would have asked Detroit voters to legalize possession of small amounts of marijuana.

California's Legislature is considering a bill that would make it the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use as well. It is unlikely to pass this year, but Gray and other advocates hope to have a proposition on the November ballot that would legalize marijuana use for anyone 21 or older.

California voters have a chance on this November's ballot to bring common sense to law enforcement by legalizing marijuana for adults. As San Jose's retired chief of police and a cop with 35 years experience on the front lines in the war on marijuana, I'm voting yes.

WASHINGTON - Advocates of a Colorado campaign aimed at legalizing marijuana through the ballot box are directly targeting the most difficult voters to win over on the issue: parents. "Please, card my son," the billboard reads, which went up Wednesday across from the Denver Broncos' stadium and displays a father with his arm on his son's shoulder.

Organizers for the Coalition for a Safer Detroit warned that the battle to legalize up to an ounce of pot may be arduous and timely after a Wayne County Circuit judge upheld an Aug. 9 decision by the Detroit Election Commission to keep the proposal off the ballot in November.
The commission and judge said the ballot was pre-empted by state law banning possession of the drug.

No, seriously - Arizona Town Practicing for Totalitarian Police State. It seems we all see a common trend across america. The abuse of power at the expense of the common people. Quartzsite, AZ is just one of the many small towns struggling with tyranny. We at the Ron Paul Arizona R3VOLUTION find this unacceptable and decided to do everything we could to help.
