GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) A group trying to repeal Montana's medical marijuana law expects to have only about a week or less to collect 24,000 signatures to get the initiative on the November ballot.
Montana Department of Justice spokeswoman Judy Beck says Attorney General Steve Bullock's office has written a summary of the ballot proposed by Safe Community, Safe Kids.
Beck says Bullock's office has set a deadline of noon on Friday to comment or accept the wording on the ballot. Afterward, the proposal goes to the secretary of state for final action, with a June 18 deadline to collect signatures.
Medical marijuana has been legal in Montana for more than five years, but the number of pot cardholders swelled over the past year from about 3,000 to 15,000.
