As voters head to the polls to select the next president, citizens of five states will decide whether to legalize medical or recreational marijuana.
Right now, 33 states have legalized medical cannabis, according to CNN. Eleven of those states have legalized marijuana for recreational use.
In 2016, pot measures passed in eight out of nine states where it was on the ballot.
Here’s a look at the states where voters will decide the future of pot:
Arizona A proposition on the ballot would legalize the possession and use of marijuana for adults who are 21 or older. People would be permitted to grow six marijuana plants at their home as long as the plants aren’t in public view...
Four years ago, voters narrowly rejected a measure to legalize recreational marijuana.
Mississippi There are two measures on the ballot in Mississippi that aim to legalize pot for medical purposes...
Montana The state will see two marijuana initiatives (for recreational use) on the November ballot...
New Jersey Question No. 1 on the ballot would make pot legal for adults 21 and older. Medical marijuana is already legal in New Jersey...
The constitutional amendment would take effect on January 1 and would make Jersey the first state in the Mid-Atlantic to legalize marijuana, according to Ballotpedia.
Because of the economic impact expected to be brought in by residents of neighboring states, it’s believed passage in New Jersey could put pressure on other states in the region to pass similar measures.
South Dakota The state will be voting on both medicinal and recreational marijuana during the general election...
BDS Analytics, a industry intelligence firm, reports the marijuana business in the United States could top $30 billion before the next presidential election.

With people allowed to grow six plants, I’d expect domestic demand to taper off pretty quickly.
Some heads. You went over them.
Sometimes it takes a joint effort.
Happy voters are deciding the cannabis issue instead of fedzilla!
Kristi Noem has filed suit to throw out the vote. I think it’s based on the constitutionality of an amendment to the bill that passed.
