We need to end the Drug War and change the paradigm from criminality to recovery. For a fraction of what we spend on the drug war, we could create a recovery-based health model and actually take on the problem.

Half of our incarcerated population are nonviolent drug offenders. It needs to stop. Drugs should be legalized and regulated. The war on drugs has been a war on people. When I am President this is going to change.

The Sackler Family invested Million of Corporate Wall Street money to Exploit the American drug market. USA Physicians Nationwide PUSHED Excessive Opiates on their patients. I LOUDLY complained to every Kaiser Doctor in California that pushed Rx on my family for 12 years
