Marijuana
"If you want me to say that marijuana’s not dangerous, I’m not going to say that because I think it is,” Rosenberg said. “Do I think it’s as dangerous as heroin? Probably not. I’m not an expert."[2] He later clarified that "heroin is clearly more dangerous than marijuana".[3]
On September 5th, 2015, when asked about marijuana, he stated "If we come up with a medical use for it, that would be wonderful. But we haven’t."[3]
