Clinton Slams Drug War in New Documentary

Not much he can do about it now

|

A new documentary takes viewers through 40 years of what it calls a failed drug war, featuring the voices of two former presidents who say America's drug policies are all wrong

Breaking the Taboo, which debuts Friday and whose trailer already has 200,000 views on YouTube, is narrated by actor Morgan Freeman, who lauds people like former president Bill Clinton who "have had the guts to change their minds." During the Clinton administration, drug budgets, marijuana arrests and the numbers of those sent to prison on drug charges all spiked.
