White House drug czar: DC should be allowed to legalize marijuana

The head of the White House's drug policy office on Friday suggested Washington, DC, should be able to legalize marijuana without federal obstruction.

"As a resident of the District, I might not agree about legalization," Michael Botticelli, acting director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, "but I do agree with our own ability to spend our own money the way that we want to do that."
