Key Points:
- Arizona voters won’t reconsider marijuana legalization this year
- Critic scrapped plan to ask voters to reconsider legalization given new shifting federal perspective
- New Arizona law will soon regulate marijuana advertising near schools and other child-focused areas
Arizonans who enjoy marijuana recreationally won’t have to worry about it being taken away — at least not this year.
Sean Noble told Capitol Media Services he is scrapping his plan to ask Arizona voters in November to reconsider the legality of recreational use.
Noble, the founder and president of the conservative-oriented American Encore, said he started the initiative petition drive not to oppose the medicinal use of marijuana, legalized by voters in 2010, but to address the abuses stemming from the 2020 marijuana law which allows all adults above the age of 21 to buy, grow and use the marijuana for recreational purposes.
“I’ve adjusted my viewpoints on the threat to kids,” said Noble.
