PROPOSAL RESUBMITTED TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IN ARKANSAS BY GROUP

LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Supporters of a proposed constitutional amendment 
that would legalize marijuana in Arkansas have submitted a revised 
plan to Attorney General Dustin McDaniel.

The proposal was revised and submitted Friday by Arkansans For 
Medical Cannabis after McDaniel in July rejected the wording of the 
proposed initiated act as ambiguous. The proposed ballot measure 
would leave it to voters to decide whether to legalize marijuana, 
including for medical, industrial and recreational use.

The measure must be certified by McDaniel before the group can begin 
gathering signatures in an effort to qualify for a spot on the 2014 ballot.
