ARKANSAS' POT PROPOSAL IS REJECTED

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has 
rejected a proposed constitutional amendment for the 2018 ballot that 
would legalize marijuana in the state.

The proposal by Mary Berry, of Summit, would allow for the 
cultivation, production, distribution, sale, possession and use of 
the cannabis plant and all products taken from the plant, including marijuana.

Rutledge wrote in an opinion released Monday that the proposal is 
being rejected because of ambiguities in the text.
