That means that 21 percent of the U.S., or about 61 million people, will live in places where marijuana is legal for general, non-medical use by adults, WSJ reports.

Currently, only about 5 percent of the U.S. lives in legal-marijuana states, according to the New York Times.

Arizona was the only state to vote against marijuana. Its voters rejected its medical marijuana proposal.
