Idaho

Lawmakers Advance Resolution Eliminating VotersAbility To Legalize Marijuana

By Ballot Initiative

March 6, 2025

"Members of the Idaho House of Representatives passed a resolution yesterday to provide the legislature with the exclusive authority to decide marijuana policy.

.

House Joint Resolution 4 seeks to amend the state constitution to prohibit any future voter-initiated ballot questions legalizing marijuana. If enacted, “Only the legislature of the state of Idaho shall have power and authority to legalize the growing, producing, manufacturing, transporting, selling, delivering, dispensing, administering, prescribing, distributing, possessing, or using of marijuana, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances.”

.

While state lawmakers have historically voiced strong opposition to marijuana policy reformtheir views are inconsistent with those of Idaho voters – nearly 70 percent of whom say that “the use of marijuana for medical purposes should be made legal.”
