“I don’t oppose the use of medical marijuana.I just don’t think we should legalize more mind-altering substances if we want to make it less likely that people travel down the path toward using drugs,” Wasserman Schultz opined. “We have had a resurgence of drug use instead of a decline. There is a huge heroin epidemic.”

She received swift criticism following her comments.

GQ reported the interview as, “DNC Head Debbie Wasserman Schultz said some stupid stuff about drugs” and The Intercept was even less charitable, headlining its story,“DNC chair, fueled by booze PACs, blasts legal pot.“

Vox reported that the Florida congresswoman released a statement after the public’s reaction, saying in part, “We need women of every generation – mine included – to stand up and speak out, and that is the main message I sought to convey in that interview.”
