Check out this scathing eye opening short documentary in which Hov addresses the war on drugs in the U.S.
Why are white men poised to get rich doing the same thing African-Americans have been going to prison for?

Nineteen-year-old Jerica Dreamer, a former user, brought hard personal experience to Friday’s march against meth.
“It’s a bad thing. It’s really bad,” she said. “It hurts you. And it makes your body feel real…
