Gov. Chris Christie: As President ‘I Will Crackdown and Not Permit’ the Sale of Marijuana

HEWITT: “Right now, we’ve got the states of Colorado and Washington flaunting federal law by allowing people to sell dope legally. If you’re the president of the United States, are you going to enforce the federal drug laws in those states?”
CHRISTIE: “Absolutely. I will crack down and not permit it.”
HEWITT: “All right, next –“
CHRISTIE: “Marijuana is a gateway drug. We have an enormous addiction problem in this country. And we need to send very clear leadership from the White House on down through the federal law enforcement. Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. And the states should not be permitted to sell it and profit from it.”
