| Description |
Voting for Initiative 65 supported approving the medical marijuana amendment as provided by Initiative 65, which was designed to allow medical marijuana treatment for more than 20 specified qualifying conditions, allow individuals to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana at one time, and tax marijuana sales at the current state sales tax rate of 7%.
Voting for Alternative 65A supported approving the legislature's alternative medical marijuana amendment, which would have restricted smoking marijuana to terminally ill patients; required pharmaceutical-grade marijuana products and treatment oversight by licensed physicians, nurses, and pharmacists; and left tax rates, possession limits, and certain other details to be set by the legislature.
