Hailey passes three marijuana initiatives, rejects one

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.
