In this video, Colorado Congressman Jared Polis questions DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, revealing the agency’s unwavering and deceptive approach to explaining its biased, flawed, and unreasonable policies on cannabis (marijuana). Currently cannabis is considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance by the U.S. government, categorizing it as more dangerous than other substances such as cocaine, amphetamines, and opium, which are classified as lesser, Schedule 2 substances.
