HAILEY PASSES THREE MARIJUANA INITIATIVES, REJECTS ONE

HAILEY, Idaho - City residents voted Tuesday to legalize medical
marijuana, make enforcing pot laws the lowest police priority and
decriminalize industrial hemp.

But they rejected a companion measure that foresaw the city regulating
and taxing legal pot sales.

The medical marijuana and industrial hemp measures each passed with 54
percent of the vote, while 51 percent of voters supported making pot
arrests the lowest police priority.

Meanwhile, the initiative to legalize pot sales to adults was
supported by only 46 percent of voters.

Just where this leaves this central Idaho town is uncertain, because
officials with the Idaho attorney general say state and federal laws
that criminalize all marijuana trump new municipal codes.

City officials said before the vote they expected litigation if the
measures passed
