Ohio voters have voted to legalize recreational marijuana, making it the 24th state to do so, Decision Desk HQ projects.

The measure, known as Issue 2, will allow adults aged 21 and older to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and grow up to six marijuana plants at home. It will also establish a 10-percent tax on marijuana sales. This comes after the state legalized medical marijuana years prior in 2016.
