According to The New American:

“No state, no executive can nullify a statute that has been passed by Congress,” the director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy told the National Press Club audience.

“Let’s be clear,” he continued, “law enforcement officers take an oath of office to uphold federal law and they are going to continue to pursue drug traffickers and drug dealers.”

Washington and Colorado are solidly in Obama’s camp. They also support their new laws on marijuana. The more Obama’s drug goons push them around, the more they alienate the President’s base. The fait accompli that these states have presented Obama is a lose-lose situation for him.
