It's not a done deal, but a medical marijuana proposal is closer to being on Missouri's fall ballot.
Over the weekend, petition signatures totaling some 250-thousand were turned in to the Secretary of State's office. That's thousands more than required to get the issue before voters.
An estimated $20-million in tax revenue would be generated annually should the measure pass. Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp told KMBZ that some of that should be spent to go after other drugs.
"People are overmedicated on pharmaceutical drugs. We're just having to deal with that on a daily basis and we need to make sure that the funding's in place to come back to assist us to fight those drugs," said Sharp.
The petition signatures must be certified by Aug. 9. 24 states and the District of Colombia have legalized marijuana in some form.
