Michele Leonhart was asked directly by Congressman Polis about her understanding of Marijuana and its dangers. Mrs. Leonhart was either not willing or able to answer Congressman Polis's questions. As the Administrator of the DEA, she should acknowledge that Marijuana is not as dangerous as prescription drugs and heroin or give us a scientific reason as to why it is as dangerous. American polls have suggested an over 50% approval rating for the legalization of marijuana nationwide. By having a person in a position of power unwilling to discuss this topic is dangerous to democracy. Our rights as citizens are in danger. Lets take this first step in appointing someone who is there for the people.
