(CNN) – Guns, and weed, and bears, oh my!

Voters heading to the polls Tuesday will decide not only who has the power in Washington, D.C., but also who has the pot, or at least whether recreational marijuana use will be legal in the district.

Ballot initiatives, measures, and referenda will be presented to voters all over the country. One measure in Alabama, for instance, aims to ban the state from imposing Sharia law, or Islamic law, because there's apparently a real risk it could happen ... in Alabama.

Some of these measures are serious, others less so, but regardless they can all impact your life.
