New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof admitted that the West Coast's 'permissive' policies regarding drug usage and combatting addiction 'almost killed' many addicts.
New York Times opinion columnist Nicholas Kristof admitted Saturday that west coast liberals’ 'permissive' stance on drugs has been the wrong approach.

'Yet it’s also true that Drew’s most recent tumble into addiction came in part because of a permissive liberal culture toward drugs on the West Coast.
OVERSEAS METH SENT TO US ELECTION BUILDING SHUTS DOWN OFFICE FOR HOURS Kristof broke down the crisis at large, writing, 'The United States has lost more than one million people to overdoses since 2000 — more than the number of Americans lost in all wars in the past 150 years put together, including both World Wars.' However, the author did not revert to advocating for the tough on crime policies pushed by Republicans, reserving plenty of criticism for that.
