President Obama And Macklemore Discuss Opioid Addiction In America

CNN is reporting that MTV is set to air a documentary starring President Obama and Macklemore about America’s drug problem, specifically, opioid addiction.

“The good news is that awareness is starting to rise,” Obama said in an exclusive clip provided to CNN. “And, I’ll be honest with you, part of what’s starting to change is that the opioids crisis is getting into communities that are suburban, that are relatively well to do, rural communities, white communities, and people’s kids who are being affected are folks who have a voice.”

The President goes on to criticize the way America has dealt with addicts, suggesting that our current methods help push people further into their potentially fatal habits.
