In a time of astronomical deficits, departments that are required by law to LIE to the American public should be reformed or eliminated.
The director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), aka "The Drug Czar," is one such position.
See Title VII Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998: H11225 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/reauthorization-act). In summary, this act requires the Drug Czar to effectively lie to preserve current drug policy, regardless of science or proof of medical efficacy of a Schedule I substance.
