New York lawmakers passed a bill on Tuesday to legalize adult use of marijuana, which will make it the 15th state in the United States to allow recreational use of the drug.
Governor Andrew Cuomo said he was looking forward to signing the bill into law.
"New York has a storied history of being the progressive capital of the nation, and this important legislation will once again carry on that legacy," he said in a statement.
New York's state Senate passed the bill with 40-23 votes, while the Assembly voted 100-49.
