US: Vote to legalize marijuana pushed back in Alaska
RT.com Tuesday 22 Apr 2014 Speaking to Reuters, marijuana campaign spokesman Taylor Bickford, whose organization supports the initiative, downplayed the delay. Past polls have shown the majority of Alaskans are in favor of legalizing pot, and Bickford expects that consensus to hold in the fall. "The date of the election is a non-issue for us because we know that Alaska voters support regulating marijuana like alcohol by a wide margin under either scenario," Bickford said. “We are confident Ballot Measure 2 will prevail in November." Anti-pot advocates, however, such as Deborah Williams and the group "Big Marijuana. Big Mistake. Vote No On 2,” claim the more people discover about the situation in Colorado, the more likely they are to defeat the ballot. "Every additional week that we have to learn from Colorado's experience we think is very important for Alaskans and will result in an increasing number of no votes on this legislation," she told Reuters. http://rt.com/usa/154072-laska-vote-legalize-marijuana-november/
