I just had a question about ballot iniatives. On an issue like medical marijuana, for example, does a state legislature have to actually pass a bill that would allow voters to vote on this issue? Or is there a process where you can simply gather enough signatures to get an issue on the ballot? Does the number of signatures needed vary from state to state? I probably should know the answer to this, but I'm just not very familiar with the process.

every state is different. http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Portal:Ballot_measures seems to be the main go-to website for ballot initiatives.
