TOR Radio No. 76, "Kat Murti on U.S. Drug Policy and Returning to Our Senses" -- 2013 Oct 15 TU

On this edition of Traces of Reality Radio: Guillermo is joined by Kat Murti, chair of the Outreach, Recruitment, and Diversity committee and member of the Board of Directors of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP).  Guillermo and Kat discuss the work of SSDP and the various reasons why a “return to our senses” with regard to drug policy is vitally necessary.

We discuss the origins of the drug war, its racist and xenophobic roots, the destruction that it causes, the prison-industrial complex, the profit motive and who stands to benefit, the dangers of a militarized police, the consequences of the Silk Road closure, and much more. We also focus on the many victories and reasons for optimism in putting an end to prohibition and the war on personal freedom.

From RepublicBroadcasting.org:
With a passion for Liberty, Guillermo has been involved in the Ron Paul Revolution since 2007, serving most recently as a National Delegate for Paul in 2012. As both a student and teacher of American History, much of what Guillermo discusses is based on a historical perspective, with emphasis on the struggle between liberty and tyranny, our deteriorating Constitution and civil rights. His background in Psychology and Sociology allow him the keen insight to filter through the propaganda and deliver the "traces of reality" that are left behind.
