Three states will vote on legalizing marijuana in November. [View all]

The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA) initiative was approved for the ballot last night.

Similar initiatives have already been approved for the ballot in Colorado and Washington.

Legalization is polling at 50% nationwide in the latest Gallup poll, with support higher in the West.

Is 2012 the year at least one state votes to end pot prohibition?

And how will this impact the national election campaign?
