A candidate from Illinois who supports legalizing recreational marijuana said he would "definitely" get high if he wins his congressional race.

During an interview on "Fox & Friends," Benjamin Thomas Wolf, a progressive candidate running for Congress in the state's 5th District, was asked: "If you win, will you get high?"

"Definitely," he responded.

The comments come after Wolf released a new campaign photo earlier this week that features him sitting in front of an American flag with a smoldering joint in his hand.

Wolf brands himself as a "Cannabis Candidate" on his website and urges voters to support his legalization efforts in the March 20 election.
