Rep. John L. Mica said Wednesday on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" that the Obama administration has sent mixed messages on the issue with the president suggesting he is open to state legalization efforts, while the drug control policy office and the DEA have come out against legalization. "We are trying to sort out what is the policy of the administration as it is now faced with many states passing legal use of marijuana, first for medical purposes, now recreational purposes," the Florida Republican said, adding that pot is still classified as a Schedule 1 drug, making it illegal for anyone to manufacture or distribute. Mr. Mica described the administration's approach as a "schizophrenic policy" and said "it is a policy in chaos." - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
