Chris Christie Vows Crackdown On Legal Weed As Soon As He's Prez
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is once again threatening marijuana users in states that have legalized the drug, telling them to "enjoy it" while they can because, if he becomes president, there'll be a crackdown.
“If you’re getting high in Colorado today, enjoy it,” Christie said Tuesday during a Newport, New Hampshire, town-hall meeting, Bloomberg reports. “As of January 2017, I will enforce the federal laws.”
Christie, one of 16 Republicans campaigning for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, has made no secret of his long-held opposition to cannabis. As governor of New Jersey, he has opposed even his own state's limited medical marijuana program and has called similar laws in 22 other states a "front" for full recreational legalization. He has described taxes generated from the sale of marijuana as "blood money." And earlier this year in no uncertain terms, he said that, as president, he would "crack down and not permit" recreational cannabis in states that have legalized it.

So much for state’s right under Krispy Kreme. Maybe he’s afraid it’ll give him the munchies.
Ping!
Why do the bastards running for office think they have the right to legislate anything and everything? I’m not just talking about Krispy Kreme here.
If that’s the statement, I guess dope smokers got nothing to worry about.
I’ve never smoked pot, but I’ll tell you, its at the bottom of my priorities right now.
We have a major socialist attack on the economy and our freedoms, and illegals from Latin America are taking over the country. Ensuring that we arrest pot heads isn’t at the top of my priorities.
Cartels are VERY upset because national prices have been cut in half since CO legalized...
How about putting our military back together?
WTF?
Christie, here, is advertising his unfitness to be President. If the original States had wanted the Federal Government to be the determinant of issues involving local Health, Safety & Morals; they would have adopted a very different form of Constitution.
Does this ass really think he has a chance.
Ha. Good luck with all that, you Yankee tub of guts.
Somebody needs to explain “republic” to this so-called Republican.
this is BS on his part to win the primary. WHERE was he when he was governor?
Mr. Donut covets power over other states
as he has shown with Bridgegate, too.
Chris Christie Vows Crackdown On Legal Weed As Soon As He’s Prez.......
WTF is he smoking?!
-- Gov. Christie
As if the pro-dope crowd here at FR don’t have enough reasons to hate Christie.
He’s toast.
Christie is so irrelevant to this presidential election.
This is the idiot who said you had to work in government and elected office in order to be QUALIFIED to be president.
IOW only the political ruling class could be a member of the political ruling class.
