In order to get medical marijuana on the 2020 ballot, the Idaho Cannabis Coalition has to collect 55,000 signatures from 18 of 35 legislative districts.
“Our goal is to bring medical marijuana to Idaho and get rid of these archaic prohibition laws that have been burdening Idahoans for a long time,” said Caitlin Heiner, the head of the regional Idaho Cannabis Coalition.
“Under our condition there would be a qualifying condition list that would detail what conditions a doctor could recommend a medical marijuana for treatment, it includes some of the standard things we know like cancer, HIV, AIDS, MS,” said Russell Belville the spokesperson from Idaho Cannabis Coalition.
The group has said to KMVT that they won’t take no for an answer this time in making it happen.
“It’s at best myopic, at worst it’s an absolute failure of local leadership, and I think this is the people of Idaho who have been polled. The majority already agrees that we need medical marijuana in the state, so we’ll take the option away from leadership and we’ll do it ourselves,” said Jason “Dr. Nick Redbone” Ramsey.
“We will get a unanimous vote, we will get 55,000 signatures, and I do firmly believe that this is the year that everything can change,” Heiner added.
