Residents of five Ohio cities voted for and approved local cannabis decriminalization measures on Tuesday, joining 20 other jurisdictions that have already done the same. Cities that voted for the reform included Kent, Laurelville, Shawnee, Rushville, Corning and Hemlock, with the last being the only one to reject the initiative.
During Tuesday's midterm elections five states were also deciding on adult-use legalization ballot initiatives – Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota, with two of them approving the measures and officially going green.
