Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker has previously taken to Twitter to call the War on Drugs a “failure,” but he used a different social media platform this weekend to further criticize America’s approach to drug control. In a question-and-answer session on the site Reddit, one user asked Booker to respond to the fact that “blacks make up just 14% of all drug users but half of those in prison for drug offenses,” Booker gave a long and thought-out reaction on the reasons the American approach to drug policy has failed so many people.
