ARK. AG REJECTS PROPOSED MARIJUANA BALLOT TITLE

LITTLE ROCK - Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has rejected 
a proposal to ask voters to end a prohibition on marijuana.

McDaniel rejected the proposal this week, saying it contains ambiguities.

The proposal from Arkansans for Medical Cannabis calls for an 
amendment to the state Constitution that declares cannabis to be an 
agricultural commodity, medicinal product and intoxicant.

McDaniel's opinion says that group previously submitted three similar 
measures, which the attorney general's office rejected.

Arkansans for Medical Cannabis spokesman Robert Reed says the group 
will review McDaniel's opinion and resubmit a similar proposal.

McDaniel this year also has rejected the wording of a proposed 
initiated act by another group called Arkansans for Compassionate 
Care. That group that campaigned for a medical marijuana initiative 
that voters rejected last year.
