Massachusetts voters have overwhelmingly approved a medical marijuana ballot measure. (AP)Voters in Massachusetts overwhelmingly approved the measure to allow the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. In total, six states are considering marijuana initiatives.
"Now that this law has been passed, it will finally be legal and safe for myself and many others in the state to procure the medicine," Eric McCoy, 59, told the Boston Globe.
Colorado, Oregon and Washington are all weighing ballot initiatives, which would allow marijuana use for any individual over the age of 21. In addition to Massachusetts, Arkansas and Montana have medical marijuana initiatives on their ballots. Medical marijuana is already legal in Montana, but voters are deciding whether to restrict patient access in the state.
Those other state measures are still undecided, though voters appear ready to approve the majority of them.
NBC News reports that 17 states and the District of Columbia already have laws allowing for the medical use of marijuana, according to the National Council of Legislatures.
