The governors of New York and Connecticut announced Wednesday they’re teaming up to address the decriminalization of cannabis and develop a common approach to vaping products amid reports of illnesses and deaths across the country.

Govs. Andrew Cuomo and Ned Lamont met for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning before addressing reporters in the backyard of the Connecticut governor’s mansion on Prospect Avenue. The leaders said marijuana and vaping laws are the first order of business before they tackle issues including transportation, cybersecurity, storm preparation and the environment.
