If New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) becomes president of the United States, he said on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" Tuesday, he will "crack down" on those states that have ended prohibitions on marijuana.
When asked by Hewitt if he would enforce federal drug laws in those states that have legalized and regulated cannabis, Christie responded unequivocally.
"Absolutely," Christie said. "I will crack down and not permit it."
Citing an "enormous addiction problem" in the U.S., Christie, who has not yet announced a presidential run but has launched a political action committee, said that a very clear message needs to be sent "from the White House on down through federal law enforcement."
"States should not be permitted to sell it and profit" from legalizing marijuana, he said.
What a jerk, this guy.

Unless Hillary really screws up or some real not made up or suggested or GOP wished for illegal activity emerges She will be our next President. She has the most experience and political clout and that is what it takes.
That's the thing. The Clintons have MAJOR clout. Hillary screws up? She has. It's OLD news though that the voting public will either ignore or consider "old news". The voting public isn't as astute as ATS members. Sorry America.

just amazing how many posts are in the "off-topic" category, talking about Clinton and other democrats, I will leave it at that, so as to not cause any animosity from my conservative moderator members....Chris Christie knows that the majority of the GOP base is against marijuana legalization, and even a certain percentage of moderates and democrats are as well....he's a politician, trying to run for POTUS, and it is still against federal law...hence, a safe position at this stage.

Anyone who is as frighteningly obese as this guy is has absolutely ZERO credibility regarding what other people should be allowed to put in their own bodies.
Maybe he should "crack down" on his own addiction.

Just like republicans approved all minimum wage increases in every state it was on the ballot. Just because the republican candidates are catering to the religious right doesn't mean most republican support this. Just because republicans are against pot doesn't mean all republican approve of this stance.
The far right is completely against minimum wage increases republicans still approved it.
Why today's republican's cater to the far right of there party when they are the minority is beyond me.
I think there will be upto 16 states with some sort of mj related ballot initiative.

Everyone already knows that the drug laws were created to put African Americans in jail. No other reason. One white man who's initials are Rockefeller claimed it made them wild and want to rape white women and that was all it took. End of story.
