Seeing so many people in drug
Seeing so many people in drug rehabs you'd think that more would be done about the war on drugs since it's clearly not working out well.
I hope so
He comes across in this clip as a measured and intelligent person, you need that when it comes to drugs.
A politician who has the power to make change has has to make a stand sooner or later. The current situation is crazy. Prisons full and drugs freely available to school children seems like a loose loose situation to me.
