When I was in college, there were 300,000 people incarcerated in the United States; today, there are 2.3 million. 1/3

Building prisons is a gargantuan urban industry. One of the reasons I want to end the War on Drugs is because almost half of our federal prisoners are nonviolent drug offenders. 2/3

We should change drug addiction from a criminal issue to a health issue. I don’t want a Drug Czar; I want a Recovery Czar. For a fraction of the money ($100B/yr) that we spend on the War on Drugs every year, we can have a world class network of recovery options. 3/3

I suspect the prison industry will push back...hard. It's so hard to move the country forward with the entrenched financial interests putting up roadblocks.

60% + go back to using after rehab.

Dang right! It can be done for a healthier America! One way to stop addiction is to take care of the children. When we care for our children properly as parents we stop the abuse later problem. Look up Dr Gabor Mate!
