President Donald Trump has nominated Sara Carter, a supporter of medical cannabis, as the next Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).
“It is my great honor to announce Sara Carter as our next Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)”, said Trump in a social media post. “Sara is an Award Winning Journalist, who has been on the front lines of this International Fight for decades. From Afghanistan to our Border, Sarah’s relentless pursuit of Justice, especially in tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, has exposed terrorists, drug lords, and sex traffickers.”
Trump says “As our next Drug Czar, Sara will lead the charge to protect our Nation, and save our children from the scourge of drugs.”
Recently Carter said “I do believe that cannabis for medicinal purposes and medical reasons is a fantastic way of handling, especially for people with cancer and other illnesses, handling the illness and the side effects of the medication and those illnesses.”
Carter has also said “I don’t have any problem if it’s legalized and it’s monitored”.
