Biden picks Milgram “Ideally, Milgram would focus the DEA’s resources on non-cannabis issues and violence associated with the drug trade, and will facilitate the eventual transition of jurisdiction over cannabis to regulatory agencies that are not part of the law enforcement sphere.”
The Washington Post reported that Milgram is data-focused, and a proponent of targeting the top of the illegal drug-supply chain rather than going after low-level violators.
Milgram’s appointment comes at a time when states increasingly are legalizing adult-use marijuana and making reparations to communities and individuals disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs.
