WASHINGTON — All the buzz at the National Governors Association meeting over legalizing pot, some say, is just smoke.
Nearly three months after Colorado began selling recreational marijuana, the nation’s governors are taking a cautious approach to loosening their drug laws despite growing support for legalization.
Republican and Democratic state chief executives meeting in Washington this weekend expressed broad concern for children and public safety should recreational marijuana use spread. At the same time, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is warning other governors against rushing to follow his lead.
“I say, if it was me, I’d wait a couple of years,” he said.
