Cannabis Policy Reform Timeline
1927: Idaho, along with several other recent states, bans the cultivation, sale, possession, and use of cannabis.
2013: Idaho legislature puts out a statement rejecting the idea of ever legalizing cannabis for medical or recreational use.
2015: CBD derived from hemp containing no THC was legalized by registered voters in Idaho.
Attempts were made and blocked for ballot access for medical marijuana reform in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. 2020 seemed promising; however, the global pandemic halted any plans to move forward with legalization initiatives and signature gatherings.
2020: The Medical Marijuana Act 2022 was proposed to the Secretary of State for ballot submission in the 2022 November elections.
2021: Epidiolex CBD was approved for medicinal use. The Governor attempted to update signature laws for ballot submission to block the 2022 Marijuana Legalization initiative.
2022: The Idaho Supreme court blocked the Governor’s restrictive SB101 due to their current drug policy. This will allow signatures to be gathered so that Personal Adult Marijuana Decriminalization Act (PAMDA) can be presented to voters in November 2022.
