Watch Congressman Jared Polis (D‑Colorado) [question DEA Chief, Michele Leonhart](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_cjLqDMqGI&feature=related).

By way of background, Colorado is one of the battleground states where local policymakers are moving faster in the direction of drug policy reform than the feds.
