The Idaho House has narrowly voted down a proposed constitutional amendment related to the legalization of drugs such as marijuana.
The measure would have sent to the ballot a measure to require two-thirds approval of the legislature in order to legalize one of the drugs on the top two tiers of the state’s controlled substances list. Rep. Brent Crane [R-Nampa] admitted the intent is to head off a proposed medical marijuana ballot initiative.
“In every state where they have legalized marijuana, it started out with CBD oil, followed by medical marijuana, followed by recreational marijuana. If you don’t believe me, look it up. Do your research, he said.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) The House on Wednesday approved legislation prohibiting mask mandates by government entities in Idaho, voting 47-22 with no Democratic support to send the bill to the Senate.
Republican Gov. Brad Little has never imposed a statewide mask mandate, but a handful of counties and about a dozen cities have to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“This is a matter of our personal rights and our liberty,” the bill s sponsor, Republican Rep. Karey Hanks, told fellow lawmakers.
Contradicting public health experts, she cited information she has that masks aren’t effective in preventing disease.
