3rd marijuana measure meets deadline in Arkansas – Cannabis News

The proposed amendment -- one of three initiated proposals pertaining to marijuana -- was published in the legal notices section of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on May 27, well ahead of Wednesday's state-mandated publication deadline.

The proposal was omitted from an article published Thursday on active ballot initiatives, of which there are now six.
