2026 Idaho medical cannabis initiative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Idaho medical cannabis initiative is a voter initiative in the U.S. state of Idaho for the November 2026 Idaho ballot.
In October 2025, the initiative, sponsored by Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho, was accepted by the Idaho Secretary of State for signature gathering towards the 70,725 signatures required to go on the 2026 ballot.[1] By February 2026, it had gathered 45,000 signatures.[2]
House Joint Resolution 4 was passed by the Idaho House of Representatives on March 4 and approved by the Idaho Senate on March 11. The resolution "aims to put a question before voters in 2026 that would ask for their approval to amend the Idaho Constitution" that would exempt cannabis legalization from the state's initiative process.[3] If passed by a simple majority of voters, the constitution would be so amended and "render toothless basically any future cannabis-related citizen's initiative".[4]
On March 20, 2026, supporters reported that they had gathered 73,000 signatures, more than the minimum number required for the initiative to be placed on the ballot by the Secretary of State.[5] They said they had 100,000 signatures on April 14.[6]
