Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson discusses drug policy.

As governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson succeeded in eliminating New Mexico's budget deficit, cutting the rate of growth in state government in half, and privatizing half of the state prisons. During Johnson's term, New Mexico experienced the longest period without a tax increase in the state's history. He vetoed 750 bills in eight years, more than all other governors combined. The Economist dubbed him "America's boldest governor" – and that was before he took on drug prohibition. He discussed drug policy and other issues at the Cato Institute November 1, 2010.
