“As one of the first states to (legalize cannabis), we get a lot of extra business from people coming into our state. . .  So from the economic perspective in Colorado, I’d love other states to go slowly so that we can continue to see all these benefits for Colorado. For years, I’d been sort of countering this sort of dire picture of Colorado. But again, if (other states) think that (legalization is) bad, it’s better for us to have less competition at this point. So I mean, if I’m looking at it as governor, I would hope they halt their efforts and send all their business here.”
