Massachusetts voters on Tuesday approved a ballot question legalizing marijuana for recreational and commercial use, a decision that creates a major pot market on the U.S. eastern seaboard.
Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. But in more than half of the United States, before the Nov. 8 election, marijuana has been legal in some form, whether it’s for recreational or medical use. Recreational marijuana use is allowed in four states — Colorado, Alaska, Washington and Oregon – along with the District of Columbia.
