[h=1]Fire Michele Leonhart![/h]January 27, 2014 Dan Riffle 8 Comments
The DEA has gone rogue. First, an agent describes marijuana regulation in Washington and Colorado as reckless and irresponsible, contrary to the presidents assertion that its important for it to go forward. Now, DEA administrator Michele Leonhart has criticized President Obama for, accurately, saying marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol to the consumer. In fact, the science says marijuana is dramatically safer than alcohol, for both the consumer and society.
It is unacceptable for our nations top drug cop to not understand the relative risks of Americas two most popular recreational drugs. Thats why we have started a Change.org petition calling on President Obama to fire Michele Leonhart and replace her with someone who will base decisions on science and evidence instead of politics and ideology.
This is the same person who once refused to answer the relatively simple question of whether marijuana is less harmful than heroin or crack cocaine. Her repeated refusal to recognize clear scientific evidence undermines the presidents mandate that science and the scientific process guide decisions of [his] Administration. Shes got to go.
Please sign our petition and share it with everyone you know!
