Marijuana initiative gets Idaho high court's go-ahead
"BOISE -- An initiative proposal that would allow residents to grow, sell and use marijuana within Sun Valley's city limits can move forward, the Idaho Supreme Court has ruled.
Two years ago, Ryan Davidson turned in a sample petition on the marijuana initiative to Sun Valley city officials so it could be checked for the format required by the city's rules.
But instead of simply telling Davidson whether the paper, the number of signatures per page and other technical details of the petition were correct, the city rejected the petition altogether, saying it was contrary to state law and therefore outside the scope of the city's initiative process."
