Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Ohio

search and seizure

I got pulled over for speeding...the cop thought i was drinking, he asked me to get out of the car. so after figuring out that i wasn't drinking he said he was going to look in my car for alcohol just to make sure. while looking for alcohol he ended up finding marijuana in my closed middle console. i was wondering if that it was a legal search or if he illegally obtained the marijuana, since he was supposedly just looking for alcohol.

And what kind of consent did you give...If you didn't consent, you definitely have an issue here.
