WASHINGTON —
In an interview with ABC News, President Obama told Barbara Walters that recreational pot smoking in states that have legalized the drug is not a major concern for his administration.
"We've got bigger fish to fry," Obama said of marijuana smokers in Colorado and Washington, the two states where recreational use is now legal under state law, but where uncertainty remained over how the federal government would view the matter.
"It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's legal," he said.
