ND addiction counselor launches group to oppose marijuana legalization in the state

A North Dakota addiction counselor has launched an opposition group seeking to keep marijuana illegal in the state. She successfully defeated marijuana legalization four years ago.

The measure would allow people over age 21 in North Dakota to use and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and grow up to three marijuana plants.

"Kristie and other people in North Dakota were really concerned about the measure," said Luke Niforatos, who helped Spooner launch the group. "We didn’t see an organized effort take hold sooner, so we’re doing it before it’s too late."
