ARKANSAS, USA — A ballot initiative to expand access to medical marijuana is poised to garner enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot.
That’s according to Bill Paschall, a strategic communications consultant who is also the managing director of the Arkansas Cannabis Industry Association. He’s helping lead the canvassing effort for the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2024.
“The ballot access effort is right on track,” Paschall said. “We are confident 90,704 registered voters will sign a petition to put the Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2024 on the November ballot. Arkansans are excited about barriers to access being eliminated and the cost of obtaining a card reduced.”
