Conversation with David Stuart Owen, Chair of Legalize ND, reflecting on the marijuana decriminalization movement in North Dakota. Will the current Citizen-Led Referendum Petition secure the needed signatures to get on the 2020 general election ballot in November? David expresses his theories about the Direct-Democracy process unique to ND and the 2018 Measure I Constitutional Amendment ratified by the Voters.

North Dakota Democracy Community

Conversation with Legalize ND Leader David Stuart Owen

A pro-democracy activist is born! This episode is dedicated to the birth of the North Dakota Constitution and a celebration of 130 years. The Citizens of ND hold a powerful check and balance initiative process for Direct Democracy to respond to either the action or inaction of the ND Legislative body which, serves at the will of the People. The early framers saw fit to embed this power early on; currently, the Citizen Initiative process is being Constitutionally challenged by a super majority of the 66th Legislative Session. This movement is a continuation of a personal and ND community commitment to preserving the People's Constitutional Direct Democracy.
