The cannabis movement saw mixed results in Tuesday’s elections, with recreational weed legalization passing in 2 of the 5 states that had it on the ballot. #Election2022 
Voters in Maryland approved a ballot question that will legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older, starting in summer 2023. Medical weed has been legal in Maryland for close to a decade.
With the new measure, individuals with past convictions for behavior that is now legal will be able to get their records expunged.
Missouri also approved Amendment 3 in its election last night, legalizing up to 3 ounces of cannabis possession for adults 21 and older.
Tax revenue from future cannabis sales will reportedly be used in several ways, such as funding veterans’ health care and drug treatment initiatives in the state. The measure also provides for expungement for certain weed offenses.
However, legal weed initiatives in three conservative states—North Dakota, South Dakota, and Arkansas—failed to pass.
According to Vox.com, Maryland and Missouri are the 20th and 21st states to legalize recreational cannabis in the U.S.
