Ohio voters are set to decide on the November ballot whether they want marijuana, for both medical and recreational uses, to be legal in the Buckeye State.

An initiative to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot was certified Wednesday by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R), according to cleveland.com.

The use of marijuana for recreational purposes is already legal in Colorado, Washington D.C., Oregon, Alaska and Washington, according to CNN.
