Do the Media Glamorize Drugs? Panelists discussed whether and how various media forms glamorize drug use and whether this affects personal behavior. There was also heated discussion over whether government policies can impact drug usage. They also took questions from the audience.

WOW .. look what I just found .. a discussion on Does the Media Glamorize Drugs. It took place,  not yesterday .. but it could have,  but 20 years ago in Washington DC and was broadcast on C-Span .. Beside me,  the panel included  the ever handsome and smart John Leland, John was the former Editor of Details and is now a New York Times reporter.. I was at the tiime  a Senior VP of A&R at Mercury Records..  It is really a smart discussion .. it took place in a Presidential campaign year and as I said, it could have been the same conversation in 2016

please give a listen .. and it gets better as it goes on .. do let me know what you think
