Washington's governor has pride in the state's legal marijuana.

“I can honestly say, we’ve got the best weed in the United States of America,” Gov. Jay Inslee said Friday night. “It’s a growing industry, and well-regulated.”

Inslee appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show, Real Time, reports Marijuana Moment.

“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?” Inslee added, regarding President Trump's recent comments he would be supporting cannabis reform legislation. “And I hope that that will occur.”

But it sounds like Washington may have a bit of competition. Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu of California has been tweeting how "amazing" his state's cannabis is.
