If there’s one thing that The Wire has taught me, it’s that if the drugs don’t destroy your life, the actual war on drugs will. Fun drug fact: 1 of every 100 adults in the U.S.  is incarcerated. It’s also easier to obtain drugs than ever before. Fucked up, eh? This has essentially become a war on the underclass.

Norm Stamper is the former Seattle Police Chief. He served for 34 years, and has a Ph.D. in leadership and human behavior.
