Group seeks new approach to marijuana legalization

COEUR d’ALENE — A new organization has been formed in Idaho to promote the legalization of marijuana.

The new organization, called New Approach Idaho, was founded by former members of Moms for Marijuana and the now-dissolved Compassionate Idaho.

Co-founder Bill Esbensen said the group formed to continue past efforts to legalize the drug in Idaho.

“The problem with the last two attempts is there wasn’t enough funding to keep things going,” Esbensen said. “We all know that to get anything done in government, you need money.”
