SCR 127 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

MARIJUANA – States findings of the Legislature and urges the citizens of Idaho to reject any effort to bring the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act to the ballot.

This concurrent resolution urges Idaho voters to reject the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act if it appears on the November 2026 ballot. The bill does not change any laws or create new programs; instead, it serves as a formal statement from the legislature expressing opposition to medical marijuana legalization. The resolution cites concerns about potential health risks, environmental damage, increased crime, and significant state budget costs associated with implementing a medical cannabis program. It also notes that the proposed act would allow home delivery of marijuana and does not require a doctor's prescription, which the legislature argues could lead to widespread recreational use.
