Even if we were to change our drug policies you can be sure you can be sure it won't be an overhaul but minuscule chipping away at the edges.

Despite our reputation to the contrary this country is way too conservative to overhaul our drug policies.

I thought this was a sad closing paragraph:

"But if we keep asking the questions, and we keep agitating and we keep presenting the evidence, then hopefully we will get some traction sometime."
