ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL APPROVES POT BALLOT WORDING

The Arkansas Attorney General's Office has certified the wording of a 
ballot proposal that would legalize marijuana in Arkansas.

The Wednesday opinion opens the way for the measure's sponsor, Robert 
L. Reed, to begin gathering petition signatures in hope of placing 
the measure on the ballot.

According to the proposal, voters would decide whether to approve 
making it legal to grow and possess marijuana and all products 
derived from the cannabis plant.

The measure would be a constitutional amendment, which means backers 
would have to gather 78,133 valid signatures of registered voters to 
win a spot on the November ballot.
