Here's where you can legally consume marijuana in the US in 2018

Four states votedon marijuana legalization measures in Tuesday's midterm elections. Voters in Utah and Missouri also passed initiatives to legalize medical marijuana, though an initiative in North Dakota failed.

Marijuana legalization is sweeping the US: In June, Oklahoma voted tolegalize medical marijuana, joining the number of other states that already have medical marijuana laws on the books.

In January,Vermontbecame the first state to legalize marijuana through the legislature, rather than a ballot initiative, when the governor signed the bill into law.

Ten states and Washington, DC have now legalized marijuana for recreational use for adults over the age of 21. And 33 states have legalized medical marijuana, representing roughly one-fifth of the US population.

Here's a summary of where Americans can legally light up in 2018.

Alaska

opened for business

California

It was the first state to legalize medical marijuana back in 1996. California became even more pot-friendly in 2016 when it made it legal to use and carry up to an ounce of marijuana.

The law also permits adults 21 and over to buy up to eight grams of marijuana concentrates, which are found in edibles, and grow no more than six marijuana plants per household.

But not all Californians can legally smoke marijuana, depending on where they live. Many cities in the Central Valley, including Fresno and , have moved to ban recreational sales.

Colorado

there are more marijuana dispensaries

Maine

Lawmakers in Maine reached an agreement in May to make the legalization bill law, though Gov. Paul LePage remains an opponent of marijuana legalization. Marijuana dispensaries are expected to open within the state by 2019, The Portland Press Herald reports.

Massachusetts

In 2016, Massachusetts gave residents the green light to carry and use an ounce of marijuana and grow up to 12 plants in their homes. But the future of the state's legal market is hazy.

Lawmakers delayed the opening of pot shops to July 2018, instead of the January 2018 date that voters approved in the election. Until then, there will be no sales of recreational weed.

Michigan

Voters in Michigan passed Proposition 1 on Tuesday, making it the first state in the Midwest tolegalize the possession and sale of marijuanafor adults over the age of 21. The bill will allow adults to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and allow residents to grow up to 12 plants at home.

The law is more permissive than other states with legal marijuana: Most allow residents to only possess up to an ounce at a time.

Nevada

Residents and tourists who are 21 and over can buy an ounce of marijuana or one-eighth of an ounce of edibles or concentrates in Nevada — while supplies last. Less than two weeks after sales of recreational weed began on July 1, 2017, many stores ran out of marijuana to sell.

The state has earned nearly $20 million in marijuana tax revenue since the market launched.

There's bad news if you want to grow your own bud, though. Nevada residentsmust live 25 miles outsidethe nearest dispensary in order to be eligible for a grower's license.

Oregon

Vermont

Vermont became the first state to legalize marijuana through the legislature, rather than a ballot initiative, when Republic Governor Phil Scott signed a bill into law on January 22.

Adults in the Green Mountain State will be able to carry up to an ounce of marijuana and grow no more than two plants for recreational use. The new law goes into effect in July. But the bill is limited in scope. It doesn't establish a legal market for production and sale of the drug.

Washington

raked in over $1 billion

require the drug for medicinal purposes
