Chuck Rosenberg
Charles Philip Rosenberg (born September 10, 1960) is a former federal prosecutor and the acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. He was appointed in May 2015 following the resignation of Michele Leonhart.[1] He graduated from Tufts University, John F. Kennedy School of Government, and University of Virginia School of Law.[2]
Rosenberg drew media attention in November 2015 after telling reporters that medical marijuana is "a joke" and not medicinal.[3] The same month he also said, "there is something to" the idea of a "Ferguson effect," that an increase in crime was the result of the public filming the police.[4] Following these comments, an ongoing petition has been created to remove Rosenberg as head of Drug Enforcement Administration. The petition "Fire DEA Head Chuck Rosenberg for Calling Medical Marijuana a 'Joke' " has already garnered over 151,730 supporters on Change.org.[5]
