The Missouri Secretary of State has approved a petition calling for a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, and now a local store is starting to collect signatures.
It's a Beautiful Day is now collecting signatures for this petition. In order for this to get on the ballet, pro-marijuana supporters must get roughly 160,000 valid signatures on the petition.
To learn how to sign up for the petition, residents should contact New Approach Missouri directly on their website.
