Marijuana, NOT as bad as heroin … Shocking, I know!

Despite the profound nature of his declaration, Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg felt the need to qualify his statement on Tuesday with every politician’s safety net; ‘But I’m not an expert.’ Seemingly cloaked in a fog of mystery, the new head of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) remains adamant that while “heroin probably is more dangerous than marijuana,” he still thinks marijuana is a problem.

“If you want me to say that marijuana’s not dangerous, I’m not going to say that because I think it is.”

No doubt his comments were skewed by his current position within the federal government. But regardless of his caveat, Rosenberg’s statement represents a monumental shift in critical thinking from the former Administrator for the DEA, Michele Leonhart.

The now departed Ex- head of the DEA left office in May when a handful of agents were discovered to have been participating in extracurricular parties of a lewd and lascivious nature. Her ostensibly ignorant resistance to admitting marijuana’s relatively benign nature in 2014, gave way to her publicly reprimanding President BHO for pointing out that alcohol is more harmful than marijuana; which no doubt helped seal the deal for her May departure.
