Recreational marijuana legalization initiative qualifies for November ballot
Act would allow adults to posses up to an ounce for recreational purposes, grow as many as six plants 
–An initiative that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in California officially took its place on the Nov. 8 ballot on Tuesday, according to the LA Times.
The initiative, named the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, would allow adults ages 21 and older to possess, transport and use up to an ounce of cannabis for recreational purposes and would allow individuals to grow as many as six plants.
California would join Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon as states that allow recreational use of marijuana. Eight other states also have marijuana measures on their ballots this year, according to the report.
More than $3.7 million has been raised so far by the leading campaign for the initiative, Californians to Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana While Protecting Children.
