Arizona voters have been poised to decide whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use.

According to spokesman Matt Roberts, State officials notified that the campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol that it submitted enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot. The secretary of state was expected to certify the petition on Thursday, .

The initiative will appear on the ballot as Proposition 205.

But the campaign has been facing another hurdle Marijuana-legalization foes are asking a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to toss the initiative from the ballot. In a lawsuit, the opponents had been arguing that marijuana-legalization backers were deceiving voters in how they are pitching the measure. The lawsuit, brought by 13 individuals and groups, has been scheduled for hearings on Friday.

Proposition 205 asked Arizona voters to legalize cannabis for recreational use and establish licensed shops where sales of the drug would be taxed. Among other things, the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants in their homes.

Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, that brought the lawsuit against the measure, have said potential revenues from legalization do not outweigh the potential costs of "bad public policy," which would affect public health, public safety, the workplace and education.
