Democratic candidate Martin O'Malley talks marijuana in 2016 campaign

"I think we still have to watch, and we have to learn in Colorado and Washington state," he told reporters after a meeting with marijuana industry and legalization advocates Thursday. "I'm not there yet, but I am watching very closely what's happening."

In Maryland, O'Malley signed a bill to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, making it a civil citation and fine for those caught with less than 10 grams. He also supported the state's legalization of medical marijuana.
