Sen. Ted Cruz: Not enforcing federal marijuana laws in Colorado is dangerous to liberty
You'd have to be high to follow his "logic".

Cruz said Obama overstepped his authority by refusing to prosecute marijuana users and sellers in Colorado and Washington state. Only Congress could enact such a policy, he argued.
Anyone who is concerned about liberty should be concerned about the notion that this president over and over again has asserted the right to pick and choose what laws to follow, Cruz said. That is fundamentally dangerous to the liberty of the people. The concept of the rule of law doesnt just mean youve got lots of laws, just about every society has laws, and indeed dictatorships typically suffer from an abundance of laws. What rule of law means is that we are a nation of laws, not of men, that no man is above the law, and especially not the president.
