The Safer Arizona Cannabis Legalization Political Action Committee joined groups around the country and marched as part of the Million Marijuana March last Saturday in Phoenix.
The Arizona group?s march is aiming to legalize, decriminalize and repeal prohibition of cannabis in Arizona for recreational use for those age 21 and older.
?In our perspective, it?s unfair, immoral and unethical that anybody goes to prison for a plant,? said Alex Gentry, chairman of the Safer Arizona Cannabis Legalization Political Action Committee.
Paperwork has been filed by the committee with the Arizona Secretary of State?s Office to start gathering signatures to get on the November 2018 ballot. It would have to accumulate 156,042 signatures from valid Arizona voters by July 5, 2018, to qualify.
It was proposed by the Safer Arizona Legalization Act to legalize ?the possession, consumption, cultivation and sales of cannabis for adults? at least 21 years old, decriminalize cannabis-related violations and replace prison sentences with fines and misdemeanors.
