DEA Operations Chief Calls State Level Legalization of Marijuana 'Reckless and Irresponsible'

Shocker

The chief of operations at the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday called the legalization of marijuana at the state level "reckless and irresponsible," warning that the movement to decriminalize the sale of pot in the United States will have severe consequences.

"It scares us," James L. Capra said, responding to a question from a senator during a hearing focused on drug cultivation in Afghanistan. "Every part of the world where this has been tried, it has failed time and time again."
