CNN Kfile: on Drugs


Joe Biden: Harsh sentences for crack were a mistake; worked to rectify

Biden said, "I haven't always been right. I know we haven't always gotten things right, but I've always tried." He highlighted his later work with Pres. Obama to address the sentencing disparity for crack versus powder cocaine, saying, "It was a big mistake when it was made," he said at the MLK breakfast. "We thought, we were told by the experts, that crack you never go back, it was somehow fundamentally different. It's not different. But it's trapped an entire generation."

Kelly Tshibaka: Linked drugs with witchcraft, demonic possession

Tshibaka also made a connection between illicit drugs and witchcraft by writing about the etymology of the word "pharmacy."

"There is a link between drugs and witchcraft. Our word 'pharmacy,' for example, comes from the Latin word pharmakon, which means 'magic charm' or 'poison.' Perhaps this explains why many people who have used illegal drugs experience demonic oppression," she wrote, though she mistakenly says "pharmakon" comes from Latin. The origins come from pre-Greek languages.
