>> Governor let s take ░░░░░░░░ moment on this because ░░░░░░░░ matters Seems to me ░░░░░░░░ s an inconsistency here ░░░░░░░░ you think drugs should ░░░░░░░░ legalized or not So ░░░░░░░░ s get that first ░░░░░░░░ get into No drugs ░░░░░░░░ outside of marijuana Heroin ░░░░░░░░ be illegal We don ░░░░░░░░ know how to deal ░░░░░░░░ legalization of heroin but ░░░░░░░░ do have programs throughout ░░░░░░░░ world that actually are ░░░░░░░░ in reducing the kind ░░░░░░░░ situation The answer you ░░░░░░░░ keep heroin illegal but ░░░░░░░░ the amount of programs ░░░░░░░░ make it safer for ░░░░░░░░ Reduce in other words ░░░░░░░░ we re really concerned ░░░░░░░░ is death disease crime ░░░░░░░░ corruption We can have ░░░░░░░░ to do just that ░░░░░░░░ keep the drugs illegal ░░░░░░░░ the drugs illegal The ░░░░░░░░ trend which I think ░░░░░░░░ Sal U tarry not ░░░░░░░░ to bring back your ░░░░░░░░ s prior status and ░░░░░░░░ understand we re not ░░░░░░░░ about addiction there but ░░░░░░░░ think society is coming ░░░░░░░░ view people who have ░░░░░░░░ issues with either narcotics ░░░░░░░░ alcohol that is a ░░░░░░░░ health emergency and not ░░░░░░░░ crime which it has ░░░░░░░░ treated as again not ░░░░░░░░ son s case but ░░░░░░░░ s some movement away ░░░░░░░░ incarcerating for possession narcotics ░░░░░░░░ and treating it as ░░░░░░░░ public health issue In ░░░░░░░░ women with substance abuse ░░░░░░░░ are no longer taken ░░░░░░░░ criminal prison taken to ░░░░░░░░ commitment facilities That s ░░░░░░░░ of lessening pressure all ░░░░░░░░ to drugs which is ░░░░░░░░ of what Gary is ░░░░░░░░ about getting them out ░░░░░░░░ the shadows Needle exchange ░░░░░░░░ in states that reduce ░░░░░░░░ and hepatitis C you ░░░░░░░░ very controversial but the ░░░░░░░░ line is that it ░░░░░░░░ lives I came out ░░░░░░░░ those when I was ░░░░░░░░ and did I get ░░░░░░░░ Makes it seem like ░░░░░░░░ re soft on crime ░░░░░░░░ you treat addicts with ░░░░░░░░ and deal with treatment ░░░░░░░░ like you re being ░░░░░░░░ on crime To be ░░░░░░░░ from Maureen and thank ░░░░░░░░ for sharing what happened ░░░░░░░░ your own family the ░░░░░░░░ is you don t ░░░░░░░░ all drugs should be ░░░░░░░░ I am not advocating ░░░░░░░░ It is marijuana.
