Alex Pareene notes:

Here is a fun fact: The Drug Czar is forbidden, by law, from supporting legalization of any drugs, including for medicinal purposes. This is per the office's congressional mandate, so barring a rather unlikely withdrawal of congressional authorization from the office, any Drug Czar appointed by any president will be required by law to state that medicinal marijuana will make you put your baby in the microwave and decriminalization will lead to your child becoming William S. Burroughs.

He also notes that retiring Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-MN), a hardliner rumored to be Obama's new czar, is a recovering alcoholic.
