I normally don't have the patience to watch a 17 minute video, but this one was well worth the time! It's easy to see why he received a standing ovation at the end of his talk. Of course, for the people on this forum, it's basically "preaching to the choir", but still very interesting.
"Twenty years ago, Ethan Nadelmann left his teaching position at Princeton University to become a full-time advocate for ending the drug war. As the founding executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), the largest and most influential organization promoting drug policies grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights, Ethan's vision and leadership have had a monumental impact on public opinion and changed the course of history."
