        Yes, but they got this 24-year-old campaign staffer to be deputy chief of staff at the drug policy office. So they're on it.

        Unless he declares it a National HEALTH Emergency everything is just PR.There will be no add'l funds w/out that declaration & since he's fucking around with healthcare which will have another detrimental effect on availability of detox rehab and counseling.He's a bag of hot air
