At a House Oversight Committee hearing, the drug czar’s second-in-command, Michael Botticelli, received a stern questioning from Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) about the harms of marijuana in light of President Barack Obama recent comments on the subject.

“How many people die from marijuana overdoses every year?” Connolly asked.

“I don’t know that I know. It is very rare,” Botticelli replied.

“Too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long, and for no good law enforcement reason,” Holder said in a speech to the American Bar Association in San Francisco. . . . Read Complete Report
