A bid to let adults buy and use marijuana for recreation has enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Matt Roberts, spokesman for the secretary of state’s office, said Wednesday that the petitions verified so far show there will be at least the legally required 150,642 valid signatures to give voters the last word. Roberts said he won’t have a final count until Thursday as his office is waiting for the results of signature review by Coconino County.
