Sensible Washington, the group that sponsored a marijuana-legalization bill that didn't make it on the ballot this election season, plans to launch its 2011 legalization campaign at Seattle Hempfest this weekend.
Sensible Washington chairman and Seattle medical marijuana attorney Douglas Hiatt said I-1068, the proposed bill, didn't get enough signatures to qualify for this year's election, but hopes things will improve for the group next year.
"We've learned a lot from our experiences earlier this year and are coming back better organized and with many more volunteers committed to the legalization cause," Hiatt said in a news release.
Hempfest is at Myrtle Edwards Park all day Saturday and Sunday. Sensible Washington representatives will speak to festival attendees about their campaign at 3:50 p.m. Saturday at McWilliams Memorial Stage and at 3:45 p.m. Sunday at Share Parker Memorial Main Stage.
