Russell Coleman, Kentucky's new attorney general, has been on the job a little less than a month.

I sat down with General Coleman for a taping of Connections that will air this Sunday.

We talked about many of the issues he wants to address as Kentucky's top cop.

Among them, Kentucky's ongoing drug crisis.

What is your direction when it comes to dealing with the drug scourge in Kentucky?

Well, there's a lot we could spend 30 minutes talking about just that on the above game piece.

Not only it's powerful anecdotal evidence, it's it is it is really interesting what the impact has been on some of the patients.

We're looking at all options on the commission.

So the previous commissioner, executive director, rather, of the commission was a strong proponent of ibogaine.

The current commissioner, I'm very pleased to say, is someone that's looking at all options.

He's an absolute superstar.

Chris Evans, DEA agent, DEA agent.

This is someone that worked his way up to be the administrator of the DEA that ran the organization across the globe.

But the purpose of that commission, as directed by the General Assembly, is to mitigate to the degree we can with the dollars approximately 400 foreign, 44 and $50 million, half of the settlement money to take that.

And make victims whole, to try to make communities whole.

And René, as much as I'm a prosecutor, I've been a law enforcement officer.

Chris Evans spent his career in the DEA carrying a badge and a gun.

We both are in alignment that you have to have, of course, a strong enforcement piece.

You have to have a strong treatment piece.

That great work of arc and actually having sufficient beds to treat this scourge.

But what we're short shrift in is the prevention front.

You have to have prevention, enforcement and treatment.

And we don't we don't do prevention at a statewide level.

So you heard the term ibogaine, and we'll explain that in full when you watch the full interview with Attorney General Russell Coleman on Connections this coming Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in the morning, 1030 Central right here on KCET.
