Arizona voters could get the chance to legalize medical marijuana, and the state Legislature may tax it.

A group called the Medical Marijuana Policy Project is gathering signatures for a voter initiative that would make it legal to have small amount of pot with a doctor's recommendation.

If the measure gets on the November ballot and is approved by voters, a bill by Tucson Democratic Sen. Jorge Garcia calls for taxing the marijuana sold under the act.

The Senate's 17-12 vote Thursday sends the bill to the House.

An analysis by the nonpartisan legislative budget staff found that taxing medical marijuana could generate nearly $1 million for the state General Fund in the 2012 fiscal year.
