Chris Christie already lost the presidential election. Sure we know the New Jersey governor doesn’t stand a chance against fellow Republicans Jeb Bush and even Donald Trump, in the large pool of candidates for the 2016 election, but today he made some comments that lost him votes.

In a town-hall meeting in Newport, New Hampshire Christie advised,

Uh, that’s nice of you. I guess.

“As of January 2017, I will enforce the federal laws.”

Say what?

Christie, who considers marijuana a “gateway drug,”—even though teens aren’t even smoking the ganja anymore—clearly isn’t woke about marijuana’s potential healing properties and the massive $65 million bank it just made for Washington. And so Weedgate begins.
