Rachel Interview With Chuck Rosenberg

Interesting piece with Chuck Rosenberg, although after watching for a few minutes something jogged my memory about him being the DEA chief and I goggled him and sure enough I found this quote:

Here's what administrator Chuck Rosenberg said about medical marijuana, via CBS News:

"What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal -- because it's not," Rosenberg said in a briefing to reporters. "We can have an intellectually honest debate about whether we should legalize something that is bad and dangerous, but don't call it medicine -- that is a joke."

The interview was not at all about this topic but I got the impression from Rachel that we were to be sympathetic that Rosenberg was forced out of his position by the Trump administration, which ironically, is turning out to be heavy on the War on Drugs...

which had zero to do with medical marijuana and was focused on the Mueller investigation into collusion and Comey's firing, I felt like the guy exuded credibility.
