The state of California has approved a ballot initiative that will let California voters decide whether or not to legalize marijuana for recreational use.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the initiative received 600,000 signatures, well above the 402,000 required to make it on the state ballot. If it passes, California will become the fifth state to allow marijuana for recreational use after Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.
Opinion polls show that 60 percent of California voters are in favor of marijuana legalization. And on a national level, 54 percent of Americans also support legalization, with Democrats being much more in favor of it compared to Republicans.
And California will not be the only state to vote on legalizing recreational marijuana this November. Nevada and Maine will also have a vote on this topic.
