On Drugs: Other governors privately support ending drug war

Keeping an open mind is part of the way civic personalities maintain touch with reality and other people's wishes. When I held a news conference with Gov. Gary Johnson (R, NM), he urged a rethinking of the self-defeating and cruel war on drugs. Johnson is the only sitting governor to open such a taboo subject, even though he told me that the other governors privately agree with what he says but think it too politically delicate to raise similar questions in their states.
