ANALYST: These are the next 4 states to legalize marijuana

So far, 10 states and Washington, DC, have legalized the full use of marijuana, and 33 states and Washington, DC, have legalized medical marijuana.

With the Democrats winning key Governor races, and securing more seats in their state Houses/Senates, a few more states are likely to soon legalize marijuana.

According to Cowen Research Group, four states in particular look to have ample runway to legalize cannabis as they now have a Democratic Governor and support from either the state's House and/or Senate.

That number will likely approach $34 billion if these next four states legalize the drug.

Here is a snapshot of the four states that are next to legalize the drug, according to Azer:
