The New Approach Oregon marijuana legalization initiative has qualified for the November ballot, the secretary of state's office reported today.
It won't get a measure number until next month.
First word came in an email from New Approach Oregon's Anthony Johnson. When the Chronicle contacted Johnson to confirm the email, he said "I got the call from the secretary of state's office today."
The initiative had needed some 87,000 valid voter signatures to qualify; it handed in about 145,000 a couple of weeks ago.
