Lowest Police Priority, Medical Marijuana, and Industrial Hemp Acts

Hailey, Idaho: Lowest Police Priority, Medical Marijuana, and Industrial Hemp Acts
On November 6, 2007, Hailey voters passed three initiatives called The Hailey Industrial Hemp Act, The Hailey Lowest Police Priority Act and The Hailey Medical Marijuana Act:
1) The Hailey Medical Marijuana Act is a marijuana medical initiative passed by a vote of 687-581.
2) The Hailey Lowest Police Priority Act is an initiative that makes adult cannabis possession the lowest police priority. It passed by a margin of 637-601.
3) The Hailey Industrial Hemp Act is an industrial hemp measure that passed by 683-565.

A fourth initiative would have mandated the city to regulate and tax marijuana sales and to establish a Community Oversight Committee to iron out the details for legalization, but it failed 573-674.
