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.

When people in the early 20th century wanted the feds to ban adult beverages, they understood that the federal govenment had no authority to do so unless the Constitution was amended to create such a power; and we got the 18th Amendment. The modern-day people who want to ban pot do not seem to understand this concept.

One more reason to reject Krispy Creme.

Is eating three dozen donuts a day really a freedom?

Wonder how he feels about immigration laws? There seems to be a number of sanctuary cities in his state.......

CC is pretty fond of Muslim immigrants.

As if the pro-dope crowd here at FR don’t have enough reasons to hate Christie.

As if the pro-federalism, pro-Constitution crowd at FR don't have enough reasons to hate Christie.

Is being stupid a freedom?

Legislate it out of existence.. if you can. ;-)

[Responsibility2nd]

Careful Normie. Asserting being stupid with being for legal dope is a pretty unpopular position here.

Being a good FReeper means legal weed for everyone, right?

Being a good conservative means that an adult may have a steak, enjoy a Twinkie, have a couple of beers, or smoke a flower if they freaking feel like it.

[Lopeover]

Well he is going nowhere.
