Richard Nixon ignored the results of his own Blue Ribbon Commission after they did a study and recommended, among other things, that marijuana offenses should receive no criminal penalty.

"]Michelle Leonhart, head of the DEA[/a] as she is asked some very basic questions about the effects of different drugs.
