Washington Governor: ‘We’ve Got The Best Weed’
Washington State’s governor is proud of his state’s legal marijuana.
“I can honestly say, we’ve got the best weed in the United States of America,” Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said on Friday night. “It’s a growing industry, and well-regulated.”
Inslee was speaking during an appearance on Bill Maher’s HBO show, Real Time.
“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the first time Donald Trump said something that was actually true, if he said he would leave us alone on our marijuana decriminalization?” he added, referring to recent reports that President Trump is preparing to support cannabis reform legislation. “And I hope that that will occur.”

But Inslee and Washington have some competition: Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu has recently been bragging about how “amazing,” “wonderful” and “awesome” his own state’s legal cannabis is.

Actually, California has now grown to the 6th largest economy in the world. We have a budget surplus. Of all the 50 states, CA ranks second highest in life expectancy after Hawaii.
And our voter approved, regulated #cannabis is wonderful.

Earlier during Friday’s show, Maher delivered a monologue urging Democrats to adopt an increased political focus on marijuana.
