The White House is launching a new commission to combat drug addiction Wednesday to be overseen by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who for years has been passionate about the scourge of drug abuse.
Trump and Christie will lead a listening session on the subject at the White House on Wednesday, convening Attorney General Jeff Sessions and several other Cabinet members, drug policy experts and advocates, as well as a recovering addict.
...
Joining Trump, Christie and Sessions at the Wednesday session are Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin and Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly. Also in attendance will be: Don Wright, acting assistant secretary for health; Charles “Chuck” Rosenberg, acting administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Richard Baum, acting director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy; Mariano Rivera, a former New York Yankee and philanthropist; Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi; Bertha Madras, a Harvard Medical School professor and former drug policy official; Pam Garozzo, a drug awareness advocate; AJ Solomon, founder of the Victory Bay Recovery Center; and Vanessa Vitolo, a recovering addict.

When faced with years of war on drug failure, double down with sessions and this bullshite. Lots of impending winning to follow

You have to be fricking kidding me. One step forward, two steps back.

Great news for the prison industry.
Bad news for addicts in need of help.

Maybe we'll all get lucky and Christie will be indicted before he can do this

I don't doubt his empathy. I doubt his open-mindedness to solutions that don't involve doubling down on enforcement. The guest list for this commission is not assuaging that doubt.

Emotional is not what we need. Logic must be applied to the drug issue.

Sorry, but I don't trust what politicians say. I'll believe it when I see it.

Addiction is bad. Unless it's a food addiction. God wouldn't have made Golden Corral if we weren't supposed to indulge.
