Ted Cruz: Not enforcing Federal Laws on Marijuana in Colorado is 'Dangerous to Liberty' (includes video)

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has again criticized President Barack Obama for not overriding state marijuana laws. 
In an interview with the libertarian magazine Reason published Monday, Cruz said he supported an “intelligent conversation” about drug policy. 
“I will say one thing that’s been dismaying about the Obama administration,” he continued. “The Obama administration’s approach to drug policy is to simply announce that across the country, it is going to stop enforcing certain drug laws. Now, that may or may not be a good policy, but I would suggest that should concern anyone — it should even concern libertarians who support that policy outcome — because the idea that the president simply says criminal laws that are on the books, we’re going to ignore [them]. That is a very dangerous precedent.”
