Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Monday cited several problems with the proposed constitutional amendment submitted by a Little Rock attorney to legalize marijuana. McDaniel said the proposal doesn't acknowledge that the drug would still remain illegal under federal law.
The attorney general must certify any ballot measure before supporters can begin collecting signatures to place it on the November ballot. The proposal by Little Rock attorney John Wesley Hall, Jr. would take effect July 1, 2011, if approved by voters.
