Candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, Senator Ted Cruz, has said that, if elected, he would not interfere with Colorado’s decision to legalize marijuana.

He declined an invitation to make a judgment about the two years since the state legalized recreational use of the substance for adults over the age of 21 but acknowledged that he would leave the final say on legalizing marijuana use to voters in individual states.

His remarks were made during an exclusive interview given to the Denver Post before he was due to address 6,000 at the Republican convention in Colorado Springs.

“Mr. Cruz has echoed the sentiments of all the other candidate nominees for both Republican and Democrat parties,” said Brad Flint, marketing spokesperson for Cannabliss, the Florida-based wholesale distributor of medical and recreational marijuana and cannabis-infused edibles.

“Such is the scale of the groundswell of support for marijuana legalization, it would be a very brave candidate indeed who chose to get in front of that train,” said Flint.

Mr. Cruz has said that he, personally, is against the legalization of marijuana and would not vote for a bill that would decriminalize it. He did, however, say that he remained open to seeing how legalization in Colorado and other states played out.

Cannabliss is set to launch a small chain of 22 retail outlets supplying legal marijuana to those with physician’s prescription in the state of Florida pending the outcome of a state-wide vote on a November 8, 2016 ballot.
