(15,882 posts)Newly-appointed DEA chief Chuck Rosenberg recently said that he believes that "marijuana is dangerous" and that it should remain classified as a hardcore Schedule I drug with no medical use.

I can hardly imagine anything more ignorant than this person's viewpoint in 2015, unless it would be hiring him.
Yet another racist, misogynistic ass clown put in a government job where he can hurt people.
He ought to be good for jailing what,, 10,000 non-violent black men? 20.000? Maybe we could do a pool, and the one closest can donate the money to a family left behind in permanent poverty, just so this guy can get his rocks off pretending to be tough.
We should change the flag of the DEA to the Confederate Battle flag, or we are just lying to ourselves.

(2,688 posts)Obama appointed Lynch to head the DOJ and Lynch just appointed Rosenberg to head the DEA. Lynch obviously checked with Obama first on the appointment and he obviously agreed.
This really pisses me off because there's tons of scientific and medical studies that indicate marijuana isn't dangerous. As a matter of fact, the DEA recently declared that MJ has a lot of medical benefits.
I truly believe that Rosenberg is bought by the prison industrial complex because the PIC needs slave labor.

You'd think people who claim to actually care about legalizing cannabis would be pretty familiar with it...

Last time I checked illegal Marijuana was a largest cast crop in California, Ohio and other states. That is pretty shocking considering the corn, soy, grape, almond and avocado figures.
