BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota ballot initiative group can gather signatures to put a proposal legalizing recreational marijuana to a statewide vote in the fall. Secretary of State Michael Howe gave approval to the effort on Thursday. The proposal would legalize recreational marijuana for people 21 and older to use at their homes and on private property. The measure also outlines numerous business regulations, prohibited uses and home cultivation of plants. Twenty-four states have legalized recreational marijuana. North Dakota voters rejected similar measures in 2018 and 2022, and a similar effort failed in the Legislature in 2021.
