Gov. Phil Murphy met with fellow Democratic governors in neighboring states with hopes to create common regulations on weed and vaping during a summit Thursday morning in Manhattan.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont announced late last month they planned to join together on issues of vaping and marijuana legalization, and said at the time they wanted to involve New Jersey, too.
The plan is to establish similar laws in states where many people cross borders daily, allowing them to legally purchase pot or vaping products in one state and easily bring them into another.
On Thursday morning, the three met in Manhattan with fellow Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and legislative leaders from New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey and Colorado to discuss policy options and opportunities for regional coordination.
