GROUP PROMOTING REFERENDUM ON MARIJUANA SUBMITS SIGNATURES

Advocates for the legalization of marijuana in Washington announced
Monday that they had collected more than twice the signatures required
to get a measure on the November ballot. The district's Board of
Elections has up to 30 days to check that the group promoting the
measure, the D.C. Cannabis Campaign, had collected valid signatures
from at least 22,500 voters. The effort could lead to a confrontation
with Congress, which controls the district's budget and can intervene
in local lawmaking.
