Alaska Group Takes Steps To Legalize Marijuana

Anchorage, Alaska -- A citizens' group hoping to make Alaska the third state in the nation to legalize recreational use of marijuana took a step closer Wednesday, submitting more than 46,000 signatures to the state election office.If enough signatures are verified -- they need about 30,000 qualified signatures -- the question of whether to make pot legal in the nation's northernmost state will go before voters in the Aug. 19 primary. Signatures must come from at least 7 percent of voters in at least 30 House districts.
