Arizona Democratic Party Endorses Marijuana Legalization

Arizona’s marijuana-legalization ballot initiative, Proposition 205, has been endorsed by the Arizona Democratic Party and several other notable groups and politicians.

Voters will decide the fate of the proposition on November 8. If it’s approved, adults 21 and older could legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana, grow six live plants at home (unless a landlord says no), and buy cannabis products at a limited system of retail cannabis shops like those in the states of Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. A poll released last month indicated that 50 percent of Arizonans are ready to vote yes and 10 percent are undecided.

When the national Democratic Party adopted a pro-legalization platform at its convention in Philadelphia in July, the state party wasn’t ready to take an official position on Prop 205.
