A California Senate committee heard from Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on Tuesday as the Legislature prepares to regulate sales of marijuana. California voters legalized recreational marijuana in November through a statewide ballot proposition. The plant is still illegal at the federal level but Governor Hickenlooper told the California Senate committee he is optimistic that Trump will not crack down on Colorado’s legal marijuana industry.

Moreover, he added that Colorado saw a rise in child hospitalizations due to kids ingesting edible marijuana products in non-child-proof containers after the state legalized recreational marijuana in 2012.
