CASPER, Wyo. The Libertarian Party of Wyoming said on August 6 that people can ask to join a private Facebook group if they are interested in helping with efforts to enact marijuana law reform in the state.

Access to medicine should never be a crime, the Libertarian Party of Wyoming said. Criminal charges for recreational cannabis use should never ruin a persons life. Wyoming can do better!

The party encouraged people who agree and want to actively help make a difference in allowing the voice of Wyoming to be heard in next years mid-term election to join the Compassionate Options Wyoming Medical Cannabis Initiative Street Team private Facebook group

On Wednesday, August 11, the National Libertarian Party announced that the Wyoming Secretary of State has given the green light for signature collection efforts to begin, certifying the first 100 signatures required for this to happen.

In order to get questions on the 2022 general election ballot that would ask voters to consider legalizing medical marijuana and/or decriminalizing person possession, 41,776 petition signatures will be needed.

Libertarian Party political consultant Apollo Pazell said on Wednesday that the initiative submitted over 250 signatures of the required 100 signatures after only 48 hours of signaturegathering.

With the assistance of the Attorney Generals Office, the Secretary of States office will produce a summary of the legislation and print petition packets for the campaign, Pazell added.
