The Idaho Capital Sun reported that the Idaho Senate has passed a bill approved by the House, asking the voters for approval of a constitutional change which would take away the right of the electorate to pass laws legalizing cannabis or other drugs reforms.
Senate lawmakers passed the bill co-sponsored by Sen. Scott Grow, (R), on a 29-6 margin. Having already been passed by the House earlier this month, the Senate’s approval means that voters will get to decide during the 2026 election whether to amend the Idaho Constitution so that only the Legislature has the ability to pass cannabis and other drug reform laws.
The bill’s supporters argued that the amendment will help Idaho to resist the wave loosened restrictions in other states, and across the U.S.
Too many legislators in this country have just watched and waited, as initiative after initiative came after them until it finally overwhelmed the legislation. “We are taking action because it’s our duty.” — Grow, via the Idaho Capital Sun
This bill is the state’s second anti-cannabis law this year. In February, the Legislature passed a law imposing a $300 mandatory fine on low-level marijuana possession offenses.
Idaho is just one of a few U.S. States that do not allow cannabis to be legally accessed for any purpose.
The “Decriminalize Cannabidiol Now” campaign, which seeks to decriminalize the possession of small quantities of cannabis in California, without establishing a market for regulated products, has been collecting signatures so that it can qualify to appear on the 2026 ballot. If the campaign succeeds, both questions — one to legalize cannabis, and one to give up the ability to pass legalization laws via citizen-led initiatives — would appear on the ballot.
