Voters in five states have approved ballot measures that legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use, ABC News reported.
Mississippi and South Dakota passed measures that legalize cannabis for medical use. Meanwhile, New Jersey, Arizona and Montana—where medical use had already been legal—approved cannabis for adult recreational use. At this point in time, the only states that don't allow cannabis use in any context, medical or recreational, are Nebraska and Idaho. However, in Idaho CBD oil is legal, and in Nebraska cannabis is decriminalized.
Recreational adult use cannabis is now legal in 15 states. It might be 16 depending on how votes that are still being counted in South Dakota go.
