Stephen Colbert on the Gary Ross case.

Thanks Colbert. Interestingly, bad-ass Michael Levine spoke at my [Drug War conference](https://www.cato.org/realaudio/drugwar/index.html) several years back. Levine acknowledges that we waste billions on drug interdiction and other follies, but he can’t bring himself to join [other cops ](https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=4401)that are for [calling off this war](http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php).
