The past several years, the United States has witnessed an increase in the use of heroin. President Trump recently declared a "National Public Health Emergency" to combat this "opioid crisis."  

"Elements of the directive include:

Allow patients further access to "telemedicine" so they can receive prescriptions without seeing a doctor
Make grants available to those who have had trouble finding work due to addiction
The Department of Health and Human Services will hire more people to address the crisis, particularly in rural areas
Allows states to shift federal funds from HIV treatments to opioids, since the two are linked as drug users often share infected needles"
In the midst of this, some have advocated that the legalization of marijuana will reduce both the number of drug overdoses and the level of drug-related crime. Proponents for the legalization of marijuana also say this will help solve the United States' "prison problem."

Is there credibility to any of these claims? 

We discuss this and more ThinkOutsidePolitics' first political analysis podcast.

This week on our Think Outside Politics Podcast, we celebrate Hillary Clinton. We remember her heroic contribution to our American democracy. One year ago today, Hillary Clinton, more than anyone else, slowed the spread of corruption in the United States government by having the decency and the moral courage to lose the election for the presidency of the United States.

Thank you Hillary!
