POT LEGALIZATION INITIATIVE QUALIFIES FOR NOVEMBER BALLOT

An initiative that would legalize marijuana use for people 21 years of
age and above has qualified for the November general election ballot,
officials said Tuesday.

The Oregon Secretary of State's Office certified the Control,
Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana Industrial Hemp Act, said New
Approach Oregon, sponsor of the initiative.

Should voters approve the initiative, Oregon would become the third
state to legalize pot joining Colorado and Washington.
