I was possessing heroin in fairly large quantities in New York City during the years of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. Had I been busted, I would have faced mandatory life in prison. I don’t think many white kids walked, either. I knew one who got 15 years for pot.

America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.
