Helena – Montana voters may have successfully reversed severe restrictions state lawmakers imposed on medical marijuana, but patients will have to wait nearly eight months before they can step into a dispensary again.
That’s when the most important portion of a citizen’s initiative passed in Tuesday’s election takes effect, due to an error when the measure was drafted.
Initiative backers had meant to immediately strike a three-patient limit state law imposed on medical marijuana providers since this summer, but instead the limit won’t be lifted until June 30.
Jeff Krauss is a former Bozeman mayor and the treasurer of the ballot committee supporting the measure. He says the important point is that voters clearly and resoundingly supported the measure.
He says the next step will be to determine how it is implemented.
