Delaware Gov. Jack Markell says marijuana won’t be legalized here while he’s governor, saying “we’ve got a lot more to learn” about the effects of full legalization on states.

“I’m certainly willing to look at the decriminalization aspect. I am not in support of doing what they’ve done in Colorado or Washington state or a few other places, doing full legalization,” Markell, a Democrat, told WHYY. “It’s not gonna happen while I’m governor. It may be the right thing. But I don’t think we know. I think we need to take a few years and see what the impact has been in some of these other states.”

Markell is term-limited and will leave office in January 2017. [Read More at Delaware Online]
