Obama won't go after states where pot is legal

US President Barack Obama says he won't go after Washington state and Colorado for legalising marijuana.

In a Barbara Walters interview airing today in the US, Mr Obama is asked whether he supports making pot legal. He says - quote - "I wouldn't go that far."

But the president won't pursue the issue in the states where voters legalized the use of marijuana in the November elections. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Mr Obama says "It does not make sense from a prioritization point of view" to focus on drug use in states where it is now legal.

Marijuana officially became legal in Washington state and Colorado earlier this month.
