It’s hard to come up with a new angle on a much-debated policy issue like the War on Drugs. But Drug Enforcement Administration head Michele Leonhart may have succeeded with her recent claim that we should oppose marijuana legalization because it poses a health risk for dogs. Unfortunately, her argument ignores the reality that the War on Drugs poses a far greater threat to dogs than marijuana does.

Marijuana news: Legalized pot 'makes us fight harder,' top DEA official tells Congressional committee
"It's important to have the facts about marijuana put out there in ways that kids, teens, young adults, parents can look at it and see that what they've been sold -- that this is no big deal -- is not true."
Leonhart also implied that voters in Washington and Colorado had been misled about the benefits of legalizing marijuana. "What was explained to the voters was how much money that they'd be raising.
What was explained to the voters was that this was good for law enforcement, because then police could go after the real crimes. What was told to the voters is that this would collapse the Mexican drug cartels," she said.
Reilly reports that that Leonhart also expressed concerns about marijuana exposure to pets.
Leonhart made headlines earlier this year when she spoke out against President Obama's comments regarding marijuana.
