Chris Christie: 'I Will Crack Down And Not Permit' Legal Marijuana As President

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.

Cannabis is still prohibited under federal law. States that have legalized marijuana, for recreational or medical purposes, rely on guidance from Attorney General Eric Holder urging federal prosecutors to refrain from targeting state-legal operations.

Didn't inhale Christie? I think you've tried everything. New Jersey could use some tax revenues and certainly mob activity doesn't pay those.

Because he's obviously high if he still thinks he has any chance in hell of becoming president.

Need I say more.
I smoked the weed for 40 plus, real, plus years and Not a person who I know will say it impaired me one bit. In the mean time it helped me with PTSD and an anxiety problem I've had since birth so fuck him and the bag of dorito's he flew in on.

No longer can due to health reasons but if I could I would in a heart beat.
