With the addition of Maryland and Missouri, 21 states have legalized recreational marijuana for adults over the past decade — even though it remains illegal under federal law.
Though it soon will become legal for adults to possess and ingest cannabis, it could take a couple more months before they can legally buy it.
In the meantime, people potentially could get free marijuana from those with medical cards or turn to the black market. Oklahoma already has one of the nation's most robust medical marijuana programs, with about 2,500 licensed dispensaries. About 380,000 people, nearly 10% of all residents, have state-issued medical cards allowing them to buy, grow and consume marijuana.
This year was"probably the worst election cycle for cannabis reform since the first ones passed in 2012, but there’s still a belief that we can go win more states in 2024,” said Schweich, who ran this year's campaign in South Dakota. A mom and her two daughters took the cannabis industry by storm when they became the first women-owned marijuana business in New York. Their company, Etain, supplies medical marijuana but may branch out once recreational weed is approved in the state. Co-founder Hillary Peckham talked to NBCLX about the personal reason her mom got into the business and how they surprised the mostly male industry.
