In two interviews on Saturday [April 9], Ted Cruz reiterated his support for marijuana federalism.
"Personally," he told the ABC station in Denver, "I would vote against marijuana legalization. If the state of Texas had a referendum on it, I would vote no. But I think it is the prerogative of the states to make that determination. I think the people of Colorado have the right to make the decision that they've made under the Constitution, and as president I would respect that right."
Talking to The Denver Post the same day, Cruz explained the practical advantages of letting states go their own way.
