The Young Turks

Published on Sep 18, 2015

The police department in Gloucester, Massachusetts has decided to take a completely different strategy in combating the war on drugs.

They are urging citizens to politely call the offices of these CEOs to inform them that their drugs are the ones people are getting hooked on, and asking what they’re doing to combat addiction.
