INITIATIVE PROPOSED TO ALLOW INDUSTRIAL HEMP
A proposal to legalize the growing of hemp for industrial purposes is the
38th initiative certified to collect voter signatures for a place on
California's 1998 general election ballot.
The petition drive, which started Friday, must collect verified signatures
of 433,269 registered voters by May 18 to be placed on the Nov. 3 ballot.
The proposal by Sam H. Clauder II of Garden Grove would legalize the
growing, harvesting, storage and use of hemp for use as a building material
or in the production of cloth, paper, fuels and various building materials
and industrial chemicals.
