Cenk Uygur: DEA Head Admits Pot Not As Dangerous as Heroin But Says He’s ‘Not an Expert’
Read Time:1 Minute, 42 Second
This is one of those times when the exclamation “WTF?” comes into play. The head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, the DEA, recently said that marijuana is “probably” less dangerous than heroin, and then went on to admit that he’s “not an expert.” Are you kidding me dude?

Chuck Rosenberg, the current administrator for the Drug Enforcement Agency, On Tuesday, Rosenberg said that “If you want me to say that marijuana’s not dangerous, I’m not going to say that because I think it is. Do I think it’s as dangerous as heroin? Probably not. I’m not an expert,” adding, “Let me say it this way: I’d rather be in a car accident going 30 miles an hour than 60 miles an hour, but I’d prefer not to be in a car accident at all.”
First of all, it is blatantly obvious that marijuana is far less dangerous than heroin, heroin is one of the most problematic and addictive drugs on the planet, while marijuana is more or less benign by comparison. Also, it must be incredibly embarrassing for the acting leader of the DEA to admit that he doesn’t even know what he is talking about, and that he is not an expert in the field that he is suppose to be in charge of.
Prohibitions of any kind should be opposed, for the reasons I have laid out in the past. However, marijuana is of a specific immediate importance, though because of its ability to heal sick people and create more environmentally friendly industrial products. It is also one of the safest drugs known to our species.

Talk about an idiotic bureaucrat talking out both sides of his mouth to protect his job and his agency, he is the perfect example. The federal government holds two medical patents on marijuana despite them saying that it has no medical use. Research is being gathered on a daily basis about its potential as a useful drug for various illnesses. Marijuana has been shown that it is safer and less dangerous than alcohol. These idiots will do anything to justify their existence.
Bill what’s even worse is this guy saying he wasn’t an expert. WTF? He doesn’t even have the sense to keep his mouth shut.
