Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper cautions other states to wait as Colorado's "experiment" plays out. The governor in the past several years has grown more confident in admitting the sky hasn’t fallen.
“What I consistently say and continue to say is that our worst fears have not materialized," Hickenlooper said. "We haven’t seen a spike in usage. We haven’t seen a spike in usage among teenagers. We haven’t seen an outbreak of people driving while high.
"I tell other governors they should probably wait a few years, and let’s make sure there aren’t unintended consequences we can’t see at this moment," he said. "But it is fair to say that it has gone better than many people have expected.”
If all the other tight@ss states would just legalize it, there wouldn't be any black market to speak of, and they could concentrate their resources on combating actual dangerous drugs like heroin and meth.
