Proponents of medical marijuana use in Arizona will have to wait a little longer to see if voters rejected their proposed law allowing its use.
Proposition 203 was still too close for a race call by The Associated Press at midday Wednesday.
It was failing by 6,869 votes out of more than 1.3 million votes cast. The proposal narrowed its deficit by more than 300 votes overnight.
Proposals in 1996 and 1998 were approved but a problem with the wording blocked their enactment. In 2002, a far more sweeping proposal to decriminalize possession of up to two ounces of marijuana for any purpose was rejected.
This proposal would allow the use of the drug only for serious diseases including cancer.
