I looked it up.

It was actually the debate.

Here us the transcript.

CLINTON: Well, Lester, you’re right. Everywhere I go to campaign, I’m meeting families who are affected by the drug problem that mostly is opioids and heroin now, and lives are being lost and children are being orphaned. And I’ve met a lot of grandparents who are now taking care of grandchildren.

So I have tried to come out with a comprehensive approach that, number one, does tell the states that we will work with you from the federal government putting more money, about a billion dollars a year, to help states have a different approach to dealing with this epidemic.

The policing needs to change. Police officers must be equipped with the antidote to a heroin overdose or an opioid overdose, known as Narcan. They should be able to administer it. So should firefighters and others.

We have to move away from treating the use of drugs as a crime and instead, move it to where it belongs, as a health issue. And we need to divert more people from the criminal justice system into drug courts, into treatment, and recovery.

thanks. i didn’t watch the debate. reading that statement closely, the only conclusion one can draw is that she’s calling for legalization of street drugs, though without overtly saying that as such.

A sharp reporter would pick up on that and quote that back to her and ask her if she’s actually calling for legalization, but of course we know that will never happen because Hillary will never subject herself to an interview with a reporter who wasn’t in the tank for her.
