Medical Marijuana to be on the November Ballot?

Looks like it has a good chance. Better buy Pitty Patt Powwers some tissue;

Hello Everyone;

Tomorrow, South Dakotans for Compassion will submit more than 29000 signatures to the So. Dak. Secretary of State to begin the process of certifying the South Dakota Safe Access Act for the 2010 ballot. A minimum of 16777 valid signatures (of folks registered to vote in SD) are necessary to qualify the measure for the ballot.

The petition drive, which began in April of 2009, was financed entirely from within South Dakota. We do not know of any cannabis-related measure which has ever achieved a ballot in a state financed entirely from within the state.

You can read the South Dakota Safe Access Act here.

Watch for news stories on the SoDak Safe Access Act in South Dakota beginning tomorrow. See one Rapid City (SD) TV station’s pitiful early coverage here. (Scroll down the page to the appropriate video.)

Best regards and thanks to all of you for your help!
