The Governor's Marijuana Impact Council met for the first time Wednesday.
The group, appointed by Gov. Matt Mead, said they want "valid and scientifically reliable data" on the pros and cons of potentially legalizing marijuana in Wyoming.
The group was created to study the health, economic and social impacts of potentially legalizing the drug in the state.
The group is also charged with determining how Wyoming has been affected by Colorado's decision to allow recreational sales at the start of 2014.
Their work comes as a signature-collecting effort is about to get underway to ask Wyoming voters in 2016 if medical marijuana should be legalized.
Mead opposes both legalizing marijuana in both recreational and medical forms. But he said during today's meeting that facts are needed as policymakers and members of the public consider the issue.
