Department of Justice Announces New Acting Administrator of Drug Enforcement Administration

Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch - "As Acting Administrator of the DEA, Chuck will play a vital role in the work of this Administration and this Department of Justice to pursue American priorities, protect American interests, and safeguard our way of life."

Does this way of life represent the 52% of Americans that feel marijuana should be legalized or the nearly 80% that want marijuana allowed for medical use?

- Or does it represent the all out global war on drugs as in the DEA founding charter?

Which American interests and way of life are you referring to?

Quote:

“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help, and suckering well-intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents. Narcotics police are an enormous, corrupt international bureaucracy … and now fund a coterie of researchers who provide them with ‘scientific support’ … fanatics who distort the legitimate research of others.”

William F. Buckley, Jr.

– John Ehrlichman,
White House counsel to President Nixon
on the rationale of the War on Drugs:
"Look, we understood we couldn’t make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue…that we couldn’t resist it.”
