The governor, speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," said his administration would use federal rules that outlaw marijuana to clamp down on states that legalized recreational pot use.
"Yes sir," Christie told host John Dickerson when asked whether he'd go after Colorado and Washington.
"If you were president would you return the federal prosecutions in the states of Colorado, Washington states?" Dickerson asked.
"Yes," Christie said.
"So, if somebody's enjoying that now in their state, if you're president, that's getting turned off?" Dickerson continued.
"Correct," Christie responded.

Even the GOP nuts will think this is crazy. How more things can this idiot screw up?

(22,897 posts)I've been uneasy (to put it mildly) about how far the repukes will go to get "their man" elected.
But then again, Christie isn't exactly liked much by repukes... is he?

(10,164 posts)Recreational weed is about a month away from legality here in Oregon, too (and has been effectively legal in many locales ever since the referendum passed: cops were told by several DAs that cases wouldn't be prosecuted, and the cops just stopped busting people for it). We tend to react to federal insistence on enforcement of fed laws prohibiting things that are legal on Oregon with a big raised middle finger (assisted suicide, anyone?). This would be no different.
It would take a lot of federal boots on the ground to return to pot prohibition here...who's paying for that, Chris?
