Dave Schwartz, left, of Fargo, campaign director for North Dakotans for Compassionate Care, an organization that advocates legalization of the medical use of marijuana, speaks to Lee Ann Oliver, right, the elections director for North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger, in Jaeger's office in the North Dakota Capitol in Bismarck, N.D., on Monday, Aug. 6, 2012. Schwartz on Monday delivered petitions that he said contained about 20,000 signatures to Jaeger's office. The petitions ask for a statewide vote on an initiative that would make it legal for North Dakotans to use marijuana for pain relief. The petitions need a minimum of about 13,500 valid signatures to qualify for the November ballot. (AP Photo/Dale Wetzel)
