Petition Aims To Put Marijuana Legalization On Montana Ballot

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Montana medical marijuana supporters are campaigning for a new petition drive.
This one would legalize marijuana across the board.
The petition aims to put Constitutional Initiative 110 (CI-110) on the ballot in the 2012 elections.
CI-110 calls for an amendment to the ‘adult rights’ article in the Montana Constitution.
As it stands, the article states adults have the right to purchase, consume or possess alcohol.
Supporters want the article expanded to include marijuana.
It classifies adults as over 18, but of course under federal law, no one can possess alcohol under 21.
Trained petitioner Rick Whatman said the over 21 law would apply to marijuana, rather than allowing it over 18.
“I think with all the support that we have on this initiative, that we should do very well with it” Whatman said.
