Next week, there will be votes on the legalization of recreational marijuana in Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
If approved, these states would join 19 others (along with Washington D.C.) where recreational use is currently legal. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 37 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia allow for the medical use of cannabis products.
Currently, the medical marijuana being used for recreational purposes will be voted on and put to a decision on Tuesday in each of the five states where it is legal.
According to federal law, marijuana is illegal, even though some individual states have legalized it for recreational and medical purposes.
In October, the Biden administration announced that President Joe Biden had granted clemency to all individuals convicted of possessing federal marijuana through executive action.
Earlier this year, the leaders of the United States Senate proposed comprehensive legislation that would end the federal ban on marijuana, more than 50 years after it was classified as an illegal drug by Congress.
