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. He graduated from Tufts University, John F. Kennedy School of Government, and University of Virginia School of Law.

Rosenberg drew media attention in November 2015 after telling reporters that medical marijuana is "a joke" and not medicinal. 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. Following these comments, a petition to remove Rosenberg as head of Drug Enforcement Administration garnered 137,294 supporters.
