JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – An effort to get a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana in Missouri on the November ballot has collapsed amid the coroanvirus outbreak. The Missourians for a New Approach committee announced Wednesday it “simply cannot succeed in gathering sufficient signatures” amid restrictions that closed business, restricted public gatherings and forced people to stay home. The group faced a deadline of May 3 to collect 170,000 signatures to get the question of whether to legalize the use of marijuana for those 21 or older on the November ballot.
